What is the metropolitan project Franco-Vaud-Geneva?

Presentation

The agglomeration Franco-Vaud-Geneva is composed of 196 urbane, suburban and rural communes - 45 in the Genevois, 40 in Vaud and 111 in France – where there are today about 730.000 inhabitants.

During the last decades the rapid development and limits of space in the Genevois did influence largely the permeability of the border by integrating several peripheral spaces into a metropolitan dynamic.

This strong and rapid « metropolitan integration » means a chance for the territory but also carries a real risk which has to be faced with a strong cooperation. Already for many years there have been cross-border relations between several institutions like the Conseil du Léman ou le Comité régional franco-genevois (CRFG). The metropolitan project represents an additional step towards the cross-border cooperation. The everyday life of the population will be easier and fulfill their wishes. The territory of the Franco-Vaud-Geneva needs efficient tools of cooperation beyond the administrative borders in order to prepare the future.
