Overtourism, depopulation, environmental safeguard, protection from the tides, loss of artisanal and industrial employment, preservation of the historical and cultural heritage, are just some of the problems that the Venetian territorial system must face.

The solution goes through an integrated approach to the nomerous challenges, which allows to recreate in a stable form that residential, working, tourist experience that for centuries has made this place unparalleled and that can make Venice the World Sustainability Capital.

Thanks to its small size (a historic center of only 5 square kilometers) and its territorial (land and sea) peculiarities, Venice is an ideal laboratory to generate, develop and test a new model of urban sustainability – social, economic and environmental – as a happy synthesis between past resilience and future prosperity.
