Geneva offers a wealth of walking possibilities, many of which remain under-used.
The public space is not only a place for travelling but is above all a living space, used for highly diverse purposes. These various places, areas in which a great mix of activities are carried out in districts and the complexity of the way in which they mesh together, require quality facilities in order to contribute to the legibility, comfort and beauty of the city. Similarly, many pavements are narrow or cluttered, meaning that they are dangerous and difficult to use. Such conditions devalue the status of pedestrians and cause them to prefer to travel by car. They cannot in themselves be criticised but their scale of application is questionable.
