International Geneva

Geneva is a worldwide centre for diplomacy, hosting the highest number of international organizations in the world, including the headquarters of the United Nations and the Red Cross. The facilities built to host these organizations since the 1920s have profoundly transformed the urban landscape of Geneva, a development that has been consistently supported and facilitated by the local and national authorities.

​

​

The Sécheron district  is an old industrial complex located next to the railway tracks. It was once the seat of the «Ateliers de Sécheron». Today, it is a park-like business district that transports us into the 21st century , where numerous prestigious buildings overlook the lake.

​

The Cité internationale du Grand Morillon is a new district of international Geneva that  brings together activity and housing programmes in a qualitative and integrated manner. It covers plots of land belonging to three different developers.
