Lausanne(/loʊˈzæn/loh-ZAN,USalso/loʊˈzɑːn/loh-ZAHN,[3][4][5][6]French:[lɔzan]ⓘ;Arpitan:Losena[lɔˈzəna]ⓘ)[a]is the capital and largestcityof the Swiss French-speakingcantonofVaud.It is a hilly city situated on the shores ofLake Geneva,about halfway between theJura Mountainsand theAlps,and facing the French town ofÉvian-les-Bainsacross the lake. Lausanne is located62 kilometres (38+1⁄2miles) northeast ofGeneva,the nearest major city.[9]

Themunicipalityof Lausanne has a population of about 140,000, making it thefourth largest city in SwitzerlandafterBasel,Geneva,andZürich,with the entire agglomeration area having about 420,000 inhabitants (as of January 2019).[10]Themetropolitan areaof Lausanne-Geneva (includingVevey-Montreux,Yverdon-les-Bains,Valaisand foreign parts), commonly designated asArc lémaniquewas over 1.3 million inhabitants in 2017 and is the fastest growing in Switzerland.[11]

Initially a Celtic and Roman settlement on the shores of the lake, Lausanne became a town at the foot ofNotre Dame,a cathedral built in the 12th century. In the 20th century, Lausanne became a focus of international sport, hosting theInternational Olympic Committee(which has recognized the city as the "Olympic Capital" since 1994),[12]theCourt of Arbitration for Sportand some 55 international sport associations.[13]It lies in a noted wine-growing region. The city has a28-station metro system,making it the smallest city in the world to have arapid transitsystem.[14]Lausanne hosted the2020 Winter Youth Olympics.[15]

History

[edit]

TheRomansbuilt a military camp, which they calledLousanna,at the site of aCelticsettlement, near the lake whereVidyandOuchyare situated; on the hill above was a fort calledLausodunonorLousodunon(The "-y" suffix is common to many place names of Roman origin in the region (e.g.)Prilly,Pully,Lutry,etc.).[8]By the 2nd century AD, it was known asvikanor[um] Lousonnensiumand in 280 aslacu Lausonio.By 400, it wascivitas Lausanna,and in 990 it was mentioned asLosanna.[8]

Saint-FrançoisSquare,c. 1840

After the fall of theWestern Roman Empire,insecurity forced the residents of Lausanne to move to its current centre, a hilly site that was easier to defend. The city which emerged from the camp was ruled by theCounts of Savoyand theBishop of Lausanne.

From 888 to 1032, the initially relatively small town belonged to the kingdom ofUpper Burgundy.During the 11th century, Lausanne developed into a political, economic and religious center. The city became the center of the secular rule of the bishops. In the period that followed, especially in the 12th and 13th centuries, Lausanne flourished. Finally, in 1275, theLausanne Cathedralwas consecrated in the presence of Pope Gregory X andKing Rudolf I of Germany.

It was invaded by forces from the canton ofBernand remained under their domination from 1536 to 1798. The iconoclastic Bernese stripped the Lausanne cathedral of its Roman Catholic trappings, and a number of its cultural treasures, including the hanging tapestries in the cathedral, were permanently removed.[16]Lausanne has made repeated requests to recover them, but they never were returned.

After therevocationof theEdict of Nantesin 1685, Lausanne became (along with Geneva) a place of refuge for FrenchHuguenots.In 1729, a seminary was opened byAntoine CourtandBenjamin Duplan.By 1750, 90 pastors had been sent back to France to work clandestinely; this number would rise to 400. Official persecution ended in 1787; a faculty of Protestant theology was established atMontaubanin 1808, and the Lausanne seminary was finally closed on 18 April 1812.[17]During theNapoleonic Wars,the city's status changed. In 1803, it became the capital of a newly formed Swisscanton of Vaudunder which it joined theSwiss Federation.[8]

Modern history and heritage

[edit]

In 1923, the city was the venue for the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne, which established the modern Turkish Republic.[18]In 1964, the city played host to the Swiss National Exhibition,[19]displaying its newly found confidence to play host to major international events.

From the 1950s to 1970s, a large number of Italians,SpaniardsandPortugueseimmigrated to Lausanne, settling mostly in the industrial suburb ofRenens.

The city has served as a refuge for European artists. While under the care of a psychiatrist at Lausanne,T. S. Eliotcomposed most of his 1922 poemThe Waste Land( "by the waters of Leman I sat down and wept" ).[20]Ernest Hemingwayalso visited from Paris with his wife during the 1920s, to holiday. In fact, many creative people – such as historianEdward Gibbonand Romantic era poetsShelleyandByron— have sojourned, lived, and worked in Lausanne or nearby.[21]

The city has been traditionally quiet, but in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a series of demonstrations took place that exposed tensions between young people and the police. In the early 1980s, the Lôzane Bouge protests demanded the city "open an autonomous centre, lower cinema ticket prices, liberalise cannabis and end the process of keeping records on homosexuals, all accompanied by leaflets, chants, and songs in the street".[22]Protests occurred in 2003, against theG8meetings.[23]

In June 2022, Lausanne launched Plateforme 10, an art district comprising three museums. The trio of museums included Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts (MCBA), Photo Elysée, and the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC).[24][25]

Geography

[edit]

Topography

[edit]
The agglomeration of Lausanne,Lake Genevaand theAlps.

The most important geographical feature of the area surrounding Lausanne is Lake Geneva (Le Lémanin French). Lausanne is built on the southern slope of theSwiss plateau,with a difference in elevation of about 500 metres (1,640 ft) between the lakeshore at Ouchy and its northern edge borderingLe Mont-sur-LausanneandÉpalinges.Lausanne boasts a dramatic panorama over the lake and the Swiss and SavoyanAlps.

In addition to its generally southward-sloping layout, the centre of the city is the site of an ancient river, theFlon,which has been covered since the 19th century. The former river forms a gorge running through the middle of the city south of the old city centre, generally following the course of the presentRue Centrale,with several bridges crossing the depression to connect the adjacent neighbourhoods. Due to the considerable differences in elevation, tourists should make a note as to which plane of elevation they are on and where they want to go, otherwise they will find themselves tens of metres below or above the street in which they are trying to go. The nameFlonis also used for themetrostation located in the gorge.

The municipality includes the villages ofVidy,Cour,Ouchy,Mornex, Chailly, La Sallaz, Vennes, Montblesson, Vers-chez-les-Blanc, Montheron and Chalet-à-Gobet (871 m (2,858 ft)) as well as theexclaveof Vernand.

Lausanne is located at the limit between the extensive wine-growing regions ofLavaux(to the east) andla Côte(to the west).

Lausanne has an area, as of 2012-2014,of 41.38–41.37 square kilometers (15.98–15.97 sq mi) (depending on calculation method). Of this area, 6.22 km2(2.40 sq mi) or 15.0% is used for agricultural purposes, while 16.06 km2(6.20 sq mi) or 38.8% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 19.00 km2(7.34 sq mi) or 45.9% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.08 km2(20 acres) or 0.2% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2(2.5 acres) or 0.0% is unproductive land.[26]

Of the built-up area, industrial buildings made up 1.6% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 22.8% and transportation infrastructure made up 12.4%. Power and water infrastructure as well as other special developed areas made up 1.6% of the area while parks, green belts and sports fields made up 7.4%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is covered with heavy forests. Of the agricultural land, 9.4% is used for growing crops and 4.9% is pastures. All the water in the municipality is in lakes and streams.[26]

The municipality was part of the oldLausanne Districtuntil it was dissolved on 31 August 2006, and it became the capital of the new district of Lausanne.[27]
