Geneva
n.
city in southwest Switzerland
Geneva
Geneva (pronunciation //;
French: Genève //,
German: //,
Italian: Ginevra //,
Romansh: Genevra) is the second most populous city in
Switzerland (after
Zürich), and is the most populous city of
Romandy (the French-speaking part of Switzerland). It is situated where the
Rhône River exits
Lake Geneva (
French Lac Léman) and is the capital of the
Republic and Canton of Geneva. In 2004, the population of the
canton was 441,000, that of the commune within the traditional city limits 185,526, and that of the
metropolitan area — which extends into neighboring
France and the Swiss Canton of
Vaud — about 960,000. Geneva is widely regarded as a
global city, mainly due to the presence of numerous
international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the
United Nations. A 2006 survey found Geneva to have the second highest quality of living in the world (after
Zürich).
