Abstract

Under pressure from increasing urbanisation, fundamental political, social and economic changes, the city of Geneva is animated by intense debates on city expansion in the 19th century. Because the city is enclosed by fortifications indicating the military, administrative, tax and symbolic town boundary in the first part of the century, the issue is closely related to that of opening, which involves the destruction of a very important urban form for the identity of the city. It is in this context that emerges the project for the construction of a replacement form, a concentric road called boulevards.
