|
|
Places of life and memory  Squares are the heart of each city. They are the ideal place to meet people and to find every kind of activities. In Carouge, squares are unavoidable ! For centuries, they have been crossed on by villagers and foreigners. Some of them welcome us, other ones - in town center - invite the visitors to discover them. Do you know that one of Carouge's squares has changed his shape five times ? Do you know that others two were born fortunately ? And that nowadays the importance of one of them is due to the Carouge's biggest square disappearance ? A social-cultural point of view and an urban planning approach let you discover the history of each square and its particular character. You will find the hidden links between the squares and the recently public squares' development
