Street names reflect the commemorative decisions of each municipality over time, and as such can be understood as the city’s manifesto about its social, cultural and political values. (Oto-Peralías D, 2018).

Die deutliche Absenz von konkreten Frauenfiguren im öffentlichen Raum spiegeln [...] die Schweizer Geschichtsvergessenheit in Bezug auf Frauen und ihren Ausschluss aus der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Sphäre.

Datasoures

Strassenverzeichnis der Stadt Zürich

We use the official Strassennamenverzeichnis of the City of Zurich Open Data Portal to figure out who the streets of the City of Zurich are named after. This dataset contains three data tables of which we think sv_str_verz is the most useful one as it contains the following properties (data rows):

• str_name
• snb_erlaeuterung
• snb_tafeltext_1

Direct links to access the sv_str_verz data table of Strassennamenverzeichnis:

• whole Dataset as geojson
• Dataset reduced with the properties above as geojson

An easy access to the Data is possible on Strassennamen-Datenbank der Stadt Zürich
