En 2011 les gouvernements genevois et vaudois ont signe un accord portant sur le développement et la promotion de la Métropole lémanique(....)Les explorations proposées sont celles produites par le projet d'architecture comme instrument de travail.

Kinshasa

Kinshasa (kɪnˈʃɑːsə; kinʃasa; Kinsásá), formerly Léopoldville, is the capital and largest city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Once a site of fishing and trading villages situated along the Congo River, Kinshasa is now one of the world's fastest growing megacities. The city of Kinshasa is also one of the DRC's 26 provinces. Because the administrative boundaries of the city-province cover a vast area, over 90 per cent of the city-province's land is rural in nature, and the urban area occupies a small but expanding section on the western side.
