Towards a shared territorial vision for Greater Geneva
October 2022
Spatial planning is one of the essential levers for achieving carbon neutrality. This is why the partners of Greater Geneva wished to commit themselves to drawing up a new "cross-border territorial vision" in line with the objectives of ecological transition and to build the territory of tomorrow with a view to being carbon neutral by 2050.
The process was presented on September 13th.
In order to develop this vision, Greater Geneva aims to widely involve all the stakeholders of the territory: institutions, civil society, companies, residents, etc. The kick-off was launched on October 1st with 8 open forums organised simultaneously in several municipalities of Greater Geneva, during which the inhabitants were invited to discuss these two central questions for the territory: "How do we live in our territory today? " and "How to prepare for tomorrow?"
In concrete terms, the objective of the "Cross-border territorial vision" is to ensure that the location of future housing, jobs, public facilities and the construction of mobility infrastructures are consistent with the preservation and restoration of resources, the landscape and the heritage. Once validated, it will constitute a reference framework for all the planning documents of the institutional partners of Greater Geneva.
