Abstract

The article discusses the construction of a time‐scaled maps series for Switzerland documenting the shrinking of the country since 1950. It describes underlying network models and the mathematical approach employed for the necessary rescaling. In conclusion, it presents the maps and discusses how the country was shrunk by half.

† The article is based on earlier German‐language papers documenting this work by Carosio et al. (Citation2005) and Fröhlich et al. (Citation2005).

Acknowledgements

The authors would like to acknowledge the sponsors of the project, which developed the travel time matrices: Swiss National Fund and the Bundesamt für Bildung und Wissenschaft for the bulk of the work. The Bundesamt für Verkehr funded the work on the service levels of the railroads. This work was undertaken jointly with ViaStoria, Berne, and the Institute d'Histoire, Neuchâtel.

The production of the maps to the highest cartographic standards was in the hands of our colleagues at the Institute of Cartography, ETH, Zürich, under the direction of Lorenz Hurni (Axhausen and Hurni, Citation2005).

Notes

† The article is based on earlier German‐language papers documenting this work by Carosio et al. (Citation2005) and Fröhlich et al. (Citation2005).

1. Road tolls are explicitly prohibited in the Swiss Constitution, a relict of the nineteenth century. Any change will require a nationwide referendum.
