Point-du-Jour est l'un des derniers quartiers de villa en Ville de Genève. Certaines familles y vivent depuis 3 ou 4 générations et y sont très attachées. Toutefois Genève, qui connaît, depuis les 20 dernières années, une très forte croissance démographique doit construire plus de logement pour ses habitants. Située en bordure du parc Trembley ce quartier est en "zone de développement" depuis les années 1950. Ce quartier est parfaitement localisé à proximité d'écoles et de crèches, en lien avec les parcs et les transports publics. Après un entrée en matière difficile où elle s'est heurtée à l'incompréhension et au refus des habitants, la Ville de Genève à mandaté l'équipe urbz pour discuter avec les propriétaires, les locataires et les voisins, organiser un workshop et produire un rapport sur les conditions auxquelles les habitants seraient prêts à envisager le développement du quartier.

ENGLISH : Point-du-Jour is one of the last residential neighbourhood with self-standing houses in Geneva. Some families have lived there for 3 or 4 generations and are very attached to it. However, Geneva, which has experienced a very strong demographic growth in the past decades, must build more housing for its inhabitants. Located on the edge of a park this district is in a zone earmarked for development since the 1950s. This district is perfectly located close to schools and crèches, in connection with open spaces and public transport. The City of Geneva launched a new plan for the neighbourhood a few years back, but it was met with the incomprehension and the opposition of the residents. In 2018 in the mandated the urbz team to discuss with owners, tenants and neighbors, to organize a workshop and to produce a report outlining the conditions in which the inhabitants would be ready to consider the densification of their neighborhood.
