A controlled development in Corsier

April 2024

The State Council has approved the communal structure plan and the structure plan for Corsier's pedestrian routes. Both are aimed at preserving the municipality's identity as a rural community while at the same time meeting the challenges of the canton's urban development and the new legal requirements for greater densification of residential areas.

The densification strategy for this zone, which covers 55% of the buildable area of the municipality, proposes to further develop the Maisons-Neuves neighbourhood along the Route de Thonon with a zoning change, by locating a variety of housing and services there.
As 45% of the territory is in agricultural zones and the natural environment is strongly represented, this densification strategy makes it possible to preserve and enhance these spaces and the municipal heritage.
As the quality of life of the population is central, particular attention is paid to the development of public spaces. Improving the soft mobility network will also facilitate access to these living spaces and to neighbouring municipalities.
This vision for the development of the villa area is in line with the 2030 cantonal structure plan.
