| Summary: | Greater Geneva is a cross-border region where growth has produced an asymmetric model of land consumption. On the Swiss side, the canton of Geneva implemented a parsimonious land policy very early on, regulated at the federal level by the Spatial Planning Act. Conversely, on the French side, municipalities and intermunicipal districts have long been more permissive in monitoring land sealing, notably to meet the demand for housing of cross-border workers. However, in 2021 the French government introduced a No Net Land Take principle (Zero Net Artificialization or zan in French) which is part of an ambitious policy of land parsimony anchored in the Climate & Resilience Act. This article advances the hypothesis that zan puts a spanner in the dynamic of Greater Geneva’s growth because it reduces the discrepancy between the national land policies that are in force on either side of the border. The article concludes with a discussion of the potential territorial effects of zan within Greater Geneva. |
