This presentation brings together two scholars whose research is focused on urban planning in Geneva, Switzerland. Karine Duplan will discuss how social inclusion is taken into account by public policies in relation to gender and sexual minorities. Drawing on the conceptual framework of Lefèbvre’s right to the city, she will show how queering the right to the city can only be achieved articulating regional and municipal levels of governance with the demands of community activists, and not without tensions. Sébastien Lambelet will discuss the way the Canton of Geneva has relied on the Swiss-French border and French cross-border workers to maintain an urban development model that is highly concentric. In this vein, Sébastien will argue that Geneva represents an exception to the dynamic, relational and heterogeneous conception of cities defended by Lefebvre and planetary urbanization scholars.
