Conclusions ! The dynamic and intensity of the development in Annemasse depend on the construction of the CEVA train line. ! The character of the new development consists of connectivity and mobility within the cross border area and starts from local conditions and potentials. ! Focal point is the creation of an identity for Annemasse, that embeds it within the conurbation but at the same time enhances its differences and peculiarities. ! The development plan has to be flexible enough to accept changes in the political, economical and social contexts.
