The Geneva Seminar 2025, hosted by the Braillard Architects Foundation during Climate Week, delves into the concept of a climate-responsive city and ecological density to build a more resilient Geneva. Confronted with increasing heatwaves, a long-term strategy is essential for equitable living conditions. This annual event addresses tangible topics such as the evolution of the built environment and urban transformation. The Transition Workshop 2025, in collaboration with the Canton, the Ville de Genève, and SIG, focuses this year on ecological density in the Plainpalais district. In addition to research from The Eco-Century Project, the seminar will present results from the Urban Oasis 2.0 study, which aims to create urban climate refuges through natural cooling and greening strategies. This dialogue platform will bring together experts, policymakers, and citizens to envision an inclusive and exemplary city in the face of climate challenges.
