It shares a unique distinction with municipalities such as New York City (global headquarters of the UN), Basel (Bank for International Settlements), and Strasbourg (Council
of Europe) as a city which serves as the headquarters of at least one critical international organization without being the capital of a country. -
Growth is higher in the French part of the metropolitan area (+1.93% per year between 2009 and 2020) than in the Swiss part (+1.17% per year between 2009 and 2020), as Geneva
attracts many French commuters due to high Swiss salaries and a favorable Franco-Swiss tax regime for French residents working in Switzerland. -
In 2004, a public transnational body called Projet d’agglomération franco-valdo-genevois (“Franco-Vaud-Genevan urban area project”) was created to serve as the main body of
metropolitan cooperation for the planning territory defined in 1997, with more local French councils taking part in this new public body than in the CRFG created in 1973. -

[9] Since 2013, the Canton of Geneva, the Nyon District (in the canton of Vaud), and the ‘Metropolitan hub of the French Genevan territory’, this last one a federation of
eight French intercommunal councils, have formed Grand Genève (“Greater Geneva”), a Local Grouping of Transnational Cooperation (GLCT in French, a public entity under Swiss law) in charge of organizing cooperation within the cross-border metropolitan
area of Geneva (in particular metropolitan transports). -

-
The total Swiss population change in 2008 (from all sources, including moves across municipal borders) was an increase of 135 and the non-Swiss population increased by 3181

Due to the small size of the municipality of Geneva 6 sq mi[6] and extension of the urban area over an international border, official bodies of transnational cooperation were
developed as early as the 1970s to manage the cross-border Greater Geneva area at a metropolitan level. -
This race takes place in Geneva’s Old Town, and has been popular across all ages.
-
Finally in 2012 the Projet d’agglomération franco-valdo-genevois was renamed Grand Genève (“Greater Geneva”), and the following year it was transformed into a Local Grouping
of Transnational Cooperation (GLCT in French), a public entity under Swiss law, which now serves as the executive body of the Grand Genève. -

[65] As this is one of the world’s oldest records of a plant’s reaction to climatic conditions, researchers have been interested to note that the first bud has been appearing
