Redefining Centrality Global Integration Geneva Canton in Europe N Geneva Canton Mediterranean Arc TGV Line Blue Banana 2
Redefining Centrality Global Integration Geneva Canton in Switzerland N La Praille and Annemasse CEVA Line Green Connector 3
Redefining Centrality Global Integration Geneva Centralities N Centralities Connections Between Centralities Desirable Connections Special Poles 4
Redefining Centrality Global Integration CEVA Line in the Study Areas N Geneva, La Praille and Annemasse CEVA Line Distances La Praille to Geneva City Centre – Approximately 2 km Annemasse to Geneva City Centre – Approximately 11 km 5
Redefining Centrality Global and Local Integration La Praille in Canton Geneva N La Praille is located in the District of Lancy. Total population = 27.000 persons Employment = 11.000 persons La Praille Total Area = 65 ha 6
Redefining Centrality Diagnosis La Praille N Advantages: - Locational Opportunity and identified PAC - Multifunctional - Transportation Logistics - Availability of Public Land Dis- Advantages: - Absence of mixity between uses - Low density with heavy commercial - Lack of Interactive Spaces (social and green spaces) - Lack of Transport facilities 7
Redefining Centrality Catalyst for Development La Praille N Redefining Publi Redefining Public Spaces with Spaces with Integra tegratin ing Nat g Natural Resources ral Resources Main Features: - Restructuring Density - Providing Open spaces as interactive spaces and urban reserves - Creating Parking Spaces - Establishing Transport Facilities for different Modes - Preserving Water channels in the surrounding areas integrating them in the urban structure 8
Redefining Centrality Land Use & Logistics of Proposal La Praille N Hypothesis: - CEVA starts at 2005 - CEVA is going to start functioning in 2015 - Plan of the RC Project is 20 years (2005- 2025) Area to be developed - 42 ha Transportation – 15 % Green Space – 30 % Built up – 55 % GFA – 150/ 300.000 m2 Transport and Vehicular Infrastructures Train Station Area Facilities Green Existing Areas to Maintain Green Proposed Areas La Praille Mixed Uses Commercial Areas and Administrative + Parking in the Underground 9

Redefining Centrality Global and Local Integration Annemasse in Canton Geneva N Annemasse Station CEVA Line Connection With Regional Cities TGV Line 14
Redefining Centrality Diagnosis Annemasse N Advantages: - Housing for commuters to Geneva and Identified PAC area - Availability of Open spaces - Existing Railway Connections - Important Historical Building - Large Scale Agricultural Area Dis- Advantages: - International Border as an Implementation Constraint - Lack of connectivity between MICA- Station- Annemasse (MSA) - Pollution – Sound and Soil - Partly Inundated Area 15
Redefining Centrality Catalyst for Development Annemasse N Regenerating Station Are Regenerating Station Area with with En Enco couragin aging Green Co g Green Connecto ectors rs Main Features: - Hierarchical transport connections and Green spaces connecting MSA - Renewing the historical building as social and commercial facility - Housing in MICA: Social (20% ) Regular (80% ) - Community spaces as support facilities 16
