Listening, proposing and acting
Together, let us fix day-to-day life and prepare Ferney’s future!
Join our rigorous and responsible team. Let us make Ferney a lively, dynamic and respected city — a city where people are proud to live, to develop a business, or to get involved in community life.
Madam, Sir, dear residents of Ferney,
If you are visiting this page, it is probably because you care about the future of Ferney-Voltaire and, like us, you wish to entrust its management to a team that knows how to listen, propose solutions, and above all, take action.
Our objective is clear: to make Ferney a safer, cleaner, more dynamic and more pleasant city to live in. A city where urban planning regains meaning, where local commerce thrives again, where associations are genuinely supported, and where investments — decided in consultation with you — truly serve the residents.
To succeed, we apply a method that has already proven effective during my time as Deputy Mayor: working in project mode, cultivating curiosity, sharing knowledge and skills, acting with full transparency, maintaining strong motivation and, above all, restoring elected representatives to their rightful place in decision-making, in close partnership with municipal services. This commitment and this collective spirit will guide our action.
It is to carry this ambition forward and to bring together a team capable of turning it into reality that I have decided to stand as a candidate for Mayor of Ferney-Voltaire.
Pierre-Marie Philipps
Municipal and Community Councillor
Deputy Mayor and Vice-President of the CCAS of Ferney-Voltaire (2015–2023)
Departmental Councillor for the Canton of Saint-Genis-Pouilly
We need you!
The themes below form the main pillars of our project for Ferney. They are not set in stone — on the contrary, we need you to enrich them, refine them and challenge them. You live in the city every day; you know what works and what must change. Your feedback, questions and ideas are therefore essential.
Our objective is twofold: to respond to today’s urgent issues — security, cleanliness, traffic, controlled urban development, support for associations, revitalising commerce, access to culture — while laying the foundations for a genuine ambition for the next ten years. Ferney must once again become a city where people feel good, where services are clear and accessible, where projects are coherent, and where every investment makes sense for residents.
Together, we can build a programme that solves concrete everyday problems while giving Ferney the momentum it deserves for the future.

Our 10 main areas of action
Open and transparent governance
Breaking away from opacity lies at the heart of our project. We put an end to practices that weaken public action — lack of information, insufficient preparatory work, limited consultation or debate — and that lead projects to failure. At every stage, supported by tools of continuous democracy, we listen, engage in dialogue and share information with all elected representatives, residents and local stakeholders. Each decision is then presented clearly, explained and made understandable to all.
Making the city calmer and safer
Faced with a feeling of abandonment, we take action. We strengthen everyday security and firmly address incivilities and nuisances in order to restore order and protect residents. Through consistent action, we rebuild trust and bring lasting calm to the city.
Cleanliness & quality of life
The current situation has gone on long enough. We put an end to disorderly waste management and maintain public spaces without compromise. By giving particular attention to green areas, we visibly and sustainably improve the living environment in every neighbourhood.
Ferney facing the climate challenge
We tackle the climate challenge head-on. In response to increasingly hot summers, we transform the city: more fast-growing trees, shaded streets, permeable surfaces and genuine cool zones in every neighbourhood. We stop unnecessary concrete and asphalt and calm mobility to make travel safer and more efficient. For us, ecology is not a slogan; it is a strategic choice to protect our health, our living environment and our children’s future.
Urban planning: less density, more coherence
In a context of excessive densification, we promote a clear and controlled vision of urban development. We work towards more balanced, pleasant neighbourhoods adapted to climate challenges. We also deploy innovative tools to anticipate needs, ensure construction quality and make everyday life easier for future residents.
Ferney, a city of commerce — it is possible
To restore momentum to local commerce, we launch an ambitious action plan. We support shopkeepers, revitalise neighbourhoods and restore the attractiveness that the town centre deserves.
A renewed policy for associations
Convinced of the strength of the local associative fabric, we reinforce our support for it. We create synergies, open new places for meeting and working, and encourage initiatives that strengthen social bonds throughout the city.
Ferney, a cultural city that breathes
Culture must reclaim its place. We reinvent the cultural offering, bring new life to the cinema and support artists and creative expression that animate the city. A city that breathes is a city that creates.
Investments equal to the challenges
With method and transparency, we commit to investments that are truly useful. We clearly define priorities, consult residents and deliver sustainable, coherent projects. Whether healthcare access, infrastructure or everyday facilities, our constant goal is to concretely improve residents’ lives.
A renewed place within the wider territory
A city earns respect not by avoiding or burying the issues that concern it, but by addressing them clearly. We fully embrace this responsibility. By carrying a coherent and collective voice, we restore Ferney’s credibility within the agglomeration, where its position is too often perceived as posturing. Dialogue is not a weakness; it is our strength — the key to finally being heard and respected.
