Le Lignon is an urban development in the town of Vernier, canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It was built by architect between 1964 and 1966 and consists of three large buildings and is one of the largest apartment complexes in the world, containing 2,780 units. It is located on former farmland and was built to address a housing shortage in the 1960s and early 70s. It houses over 6,000 residents and 930,000 m2 (10,000,000 sq ft) of floor space, including a school and a medical center. It makes up a significant portion of the population of Vernier, a town of only some 34,000 residents. With an area of 28 hectares (70 acres), the population density rivals that of the island of Manhattan. In the 2010s, the building went through a thermal insulation retrofit to improve performance.

- Le Lignon é uma bairro na comuna suíça de Vernier, uma verdadeira "cidade" pois foi um projecto urbanístico dos anos 1960 junto ao rio Ródano concebido para 10 000 habitantes, ela só acolhe 18 % da população da comuna . (pt)
- Le Lignon est une cité située sur la commune de Vernier (Suisse). Il s'agit d'un ensemble urbanistique homogène construit à partir des années 1960, au nord du village d'Aïre, sur une ancienne plaine agricole dominant le Rhône. La construction de la cité a largement contribué à l'accroissement démographique de Vernier. Conçue pour 10 000 habitants, elle en accueille 5 581 en 2005, soit 18 % de la population de la commune. Elle a même perdu 1 000 habitants en l'espace de 15 ans. En 2010, on compte à nouveau 6 800 habitants. (fr)
