Flon as a central location With the creation of Flon as a major link between most public transport networks in Lausanne, and the potential success of the new N-S line of the M2 metro, the Flon district has become central to most exchange, either transport or pedestrian. Yet, in keeping with its tradition in the past, it is still a place of passage. This passage, in itself, also tends to occur in the easternmost end of the Flon platform. This, in turn, leads to speculation on what is likely to happen to the rest of the district. In the past and even up to this day, it was not the most desireable place to install your business, economically and socially speaking. The desirability was therefore left to those who appreciated the large open studio spaces offered by the buildings left from the era of the industrial warehouses. Socially, the artisan “phenomenon” would become more of a concern to the economic development of Flon and the reopening of project competitions for commercial programs, eventually raising rent prices and proving fewer possibilities for such occupants, often living in their workplaces (of which such statistics are difficult to analyse officially). Today, Flon has come before a potentially great change. With three major construction sites happening simultaneously, this change could be rapid once completed, leaving Flon as one large commercial platform. To this, we attribute most of the where, why, and how of Flon’s changing situation. It is a huge economic opportunity to its owners/developers. Yet, our research attempts to analyse the social consequences to such a movement, and what we can interpret from the entire picture. 73.
