La Praille is located in the District of Lancy.

Total population = 27.000 persons Employment = 11.000 persons La Praille Total Area = 65 ha

Diagnosis

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

Catalyst for Development

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

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
