The Canton of Geneva is facing a colossal technical challenge with the implementation of a new 130km geothermal network linking the lake, the earth, the subsoil with the inhabitants. The Cantonal Climate Plan aims to reach 80% of renewable energy in heating by 2030. In the same time frame, the objective is to increase the tree surface of the canton from 21% to 30%. A broad field of research and experimentation is opening up to successfully reconcile the surface and the underground with the creation of new modeling and simulation tools for the territory (Digital Twin), making it possible to plan and coordinate this ambitious transition.
How to reconcile trees and networks, which are currently opposed in the planning of the territory? Can the excavations planned as part of the major works to come on the networks become opportunities for the public space project and a lever for action and prefiguration? How can the temporalities of major construction sites be integrated into the life of neighborhoods undergoing transformation? What is the responsibility of a technical service in the training of future actors in regional planning? What relationships need to be built between the academic world and the professional field that will implement this transition?
