The canton of Basel-Landschaft is a residential area, an economic region, and a living space all at once \u2013 closely intertwined with Basel-Stadt, but with its own identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Living in focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people work in Basel-Stadt and live in Basel-Landschaft. This makes the canton attractive for families and commuters. Communities are growing, new neighborhoods are being built, and the pressure on infrastructure is increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical for the canton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>high commuter rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strong municipal autonomy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix of rural and suburban areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/schweiz.blog\/en_za\/category\/kanton-basel-landschaft\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"3113\">Basel-Landschaft<\/a> It is not solely a residential canton. Industry, SMEs, logistics, and services are strongly represented. Many companies benefit from the proximity to the city and, at the same time, more affordable land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The canton functions as an economic complement \u2013 not as an appendage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Society and mentality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to the city, the Basel region is considered more down-to-earth and less internationally influenced. Traditional structures are stronger, while diversity is increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political discussions often revolve around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Steer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>regional development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tension between city and country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The close connection to Basel-Stadt is both a strength and a challenge. Interests overlap, and conflicts are inevitable. At the same time, the region demonstrates how intercantonal dependencies can function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/schweiz.blog\/en_za\/category\/kanton-basel-landschaft\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"3113\">Canton of Basel-Landschaft<\/a> It must continue to grow without losing its character. The crucial factor will be how well living, working, and mobility are coordinated in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- schweiz.blog x schweiz.work -->\n<div style=\"  margin:56px 0;  padding:24px 28px;  border-left:3px solid #60a5fa;  background:rgba(255,255,255,0.02);  color:#e5e7eb;  font-family:system-ui,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.7;\">\n    Besides this blog, we also run <strong>Switzerland.work<\/strong>  \n    a platform for services in Switzerland.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p style=\"margin:0; font-size:15px;\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/schweiz.work\/?ref=schweizblog\" style=\"color:#93c5fd; font-weight:500; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n      1 Ad currently free for 30 days \u2192\n    <\/a>\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/schweiz.blog x schweiz.work -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Der Kanton Basel-Landschaft bildet das direkte Gegenst\u00fcck zur Stadt.
