Regensdorf is located in the Dielsdorf district in the canton of Zurich and forms the economic center of the Furttal. The municipality has undergone an impressive development from a farming village to a modern industrial location. Particularly in the north of the city, there is a large industrial and commercial area that houses numerous national and international companies. A scenic gem is the Katzensee on the border with the city of Zurich, which, with its lido and surrounding moorlands, is a popular destination for those seeking relaxation. Historically interesting is the village core of Alt-Regensdorf with its well preserved half timbered houses, which form a pleasant contrast to the modern residential quarters. The transport situation is good, with its own S Bahn connection and proximity to the A1 motorway and Zurich Kloten Airport. Regensdorf also features a wide range of shopping opportunities and services in the Regensdorf Center (Zanti). The municipality continuously invests in infrastructure and the quality of life of its residents, reflected in modern schools and diverse sports facilities.
