Project Details

Cauroge Wild River Project

Located along the Arve River in a Key Biodiversity Area, Carouge offers an exceptional setting where nature and city intertwine. The proposal restores ecological vitality, reconnects urban barriers, and creates a shared landscape between people and wildlife with a focus on:

  • Renaturalising the Arve’s banks to form a living mosaic of wet and dry habitats that foster biodiversity and resilience
  • Opening up Carouge through pedestrian walkways, bridges, and a gondola lift that connect the district with Geneva and its natural surroundings
  • Giving the area a new identity with public squares, cultural facilities, and riverfront activities that celebrate Carouge’s living landscape
