Glauben Sie, dass sich die Anzahl der Kantone jemals ändern könnte? Glauben Sie, dass einige Kantone aufgrund wirtschaftlicher Interessen beitreten oder sich trennen könnten? Wie würde Ihre ideale Verwaltungsstruktur aussehen? Weniger Kantone oder mehr?
Beispielsweise hat Frankreich im Jahr 2016 eine große Änderung seiner Regionen vorgenommen, aber ich denke, es ist einfacher, weil sie stärker zentralisiert sind.

Is the current number of Cantons something that might evolve over time?

Objectively it has to change but sadly most swiss people don’t think like that.
It’s somehow written in stone, but it’s still… flexible 😉
Check out the newest canton’s history:

Also, there are ideas to separate ZH Stadt (with Winterthur, so it’s perhaps better to use the plural ZH Städte) and ZH Landschaft, much like the Basels, because of oftentimes diametral needs.
Would also solve the looming 7-digits car plate problem: ZS and ZL 😉
Ticino splits into the canton of Lugano and the canton of Bellinzona
It would maybe make sence to do this, but it will never happen. There is to much history and cantonal pride for this to happen.
Most of the cantonal borders dont just exist since 1848. They often reach back into medival times under the Holy Roman Empire.
Its hard to change borders that have been here for so long.
Realistically, no. Splitting a canton in two (ZH, TI) would reduce their seats in the Parlament, especially in the important Ständerat – like the other half-cantons. This is quite a significant loss if power. And increasing the total number of seats is something the other cantons will not agree to for the same reason.
Zurich probably will refuse: the majority lives in the city and the current configuration favors center candidates for the senate. Making a split would favor candidates at the extreme of the spectrum.
France essentially clustered departments together into bigger super-regions where many services were shared to get scaling advantages, but some still remain at the “old” department level.
In Switzerland this essentially already happened at the metropolitan level, with the TEB (Basel) and Grand Genève. Those are more practical setups to solve particular issues across cantons (and countries) than a big political “let’s vote to unify these cantons” movement though.
