Venice was built on massive wood piles driven into the clay soil. What if, they just did that again? But this time, the piles extend several feet above sea level, and they can place mounds of gravel rock over the clay to allow for better drainage. Basically, jack the whole city up and create a new, permeable, foundation
Venice was build in centuries with one of the strongest economy of that time (during middle ages same GDP as whole France with 1/15 of the inhabitants). Today there is simply not enough money for that. When people walk around Venice it's nearly impossible to think how big strong and wealth such a stupid city was.
That stupid city was founded when Attila the hun invaded and Roman's fled to tiny islands and it was better to stay for protection than to do what some keyboard warrior still living with his parents 1500 years later wants.

Yes, Atlantis is a real city that actually existed and it's super cool and it makes me wonder if all mysteries of the world can be explained by Atlantis having something to do with it.
well the city is built by wood foundation, i hope they can find a way to repair or replace those things, its still a miracle that the city is holding up, those ancient engineer are really something
Venice has been sinking for a 1000 years. Traditionally, people would abandon the ground floor of their buildings, raise the roads (or turn them into canals) and add a new floor on top.
This is what I was thinking as well…You can slow the water for a bit, but eventually you’re gonna have to come to the hard reality for the city to survive it’s gonna have to be built up again. They’re gonna have to sacrifice the first floors of the buildings and brick them in… then add another floor to the top of all the buildings and then raise up the city squares. It’s not gonna be easy and it’s gonna take a long time, but the alternative is to be flooded out and abandon the city altogether…you know that ain’t gonna happen.
any resources on the "super levee" idea? i've done a bit of googling, but everything seems to be about MOSE, i haven't been able to find a real proposal or discussion of the super levee
50 years from now, they'd either have to completely change the city to make it survive, or they'd have to completely abandon it. Neither is ideal, but that's what it is.
I have many doubts regarding the MOSE project, starting with the reasons why all the movement mechanisms were placed below the water level and in contact with the sandy seabed. But the most serious doubt is what would happen if one of the barriers were to suddenly fail: how violent would the wave hitting the city be, and how devastating could it become? Frankly, I would have preferred that, to discuss these issues, you had interviewed engineers without conflicts of interest in discussing what is being discussed.
The world have to come together, in an effort to slow down climate change! Venice is a clear example of what could happen to cities if the average temperature gets warmer!
Attempting to hold back the tide is an analogy for futility for a reason. Let Venice go. Times change, cities rise and fall. It is better to get as much as possible into museums. Who knows, maybe if you move a lot of the history to safety, a simple solution might present itself, and a new Venice, potentially on a different principle, can be built. This is what is wrong with Europe these days, an obsession with the past at the expense of the future. It's interesting that a key city in the formation of the modern world, with such shaky foundations, would be Venice, a city on a time limit that modernity would inevitably sink beneath a rising sea level.

Great work Giovanni! With that said, I keep wondering if we haven't learned anything from Babylon? Venice wasn't supposed to be. It's an incredible city built on wood piles in clay soil submerged by water. I'd say it's gotten too big (like Babylon) and nature is finally catching up with ancient Italien engineering.
You know what would be cool? Let the streets become canals. People would have Jetskis instead of motorcycles. Pedal boats instead of bicycles. Yachts instead of SUVs. That would bring some tourists.
Am I the only one who thinks this super-levee is a bad idea? Just build permanent barriers directly at the banks of the city! Seal off all water-facing ground-floor's facades and errect permanent Stone walls up to 2 Meters from the water's surface. Oh and while you are at it: Reduce the number of tourists. My suggestions: get rid of that car bridge that connects the city to the mainland and make it illegal to drive a boat through the city that isn't registered in the city.
Maybe they should dismantle the whole thing and reassemble it somewhere else like they did with the London Bridge. Depending on the tide to wash its sewage out to sea might have been okay a couple thousand years ago, but we know better than that now. Nothing made with human hands lasts forever anyway. Venice is not going to be around forever and that’s okay. The billions of dollars required to keep it afloat could be better used to alleviate some human suffering.
im betting the parts of venice built by romans will eventually sink despite their best efforts, they will have to build around the roman ruins to create a "new venice"
It is nature's call. No engineering can withstand the wrath of nature. Abandonment of the city before it forces you to abandon is the right choice left in your hand.
The most stupid problem in history is that, protecting history sites is more important than protecting the people in the history sites. Just rebuild the city man, import a soil or whatever. Don't just blocking the waves with concrete wall. Stop acting money smart, and being smarter a little bit.

Why,exactly?

But this time, the piles extend several feet above sea level, and they can place mounds of gravel rock over the clay to allow for better drainage.
Basically, jack the whole city up and create a new, permeable, foundation
You would have to breakdown and rebuild the entire city. Not a bad idea though
The gravel rock would allow air touching the wood piles during low tide, leading to the wood rotting.
You would destroy the architecture and buildings
Venice was build in centuries with one of the strongest economy of that time (during middle ages same GDP as whole France with 1/15 of the inhabitants). Today there is simply not enough money for that. When people walk around Venice it's nearly impossible to think how big strong and wealth such a stupid city was.
