VENICE WORLD SUSTAINABILITY CAPITAL FOUNDATION<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Overtourism<\/span>, depopulation, environmental safeguard, protection from the tides, loss of artisanal and industrial employment, preservation of the historical and cultural heritage,<\/strong><\/span> are just some of the problems that the Venetian territorial system must face.<\/p>\n

The solution goes through an integrated approach<\/strong><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> <\/span>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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
