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.
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.
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.
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
The real heroes make hard decisions, like knowing when to say enough is enough. They literally flush their sewage into the ocean so it's kind of ironic that it floods back at them.
Very heroic of him to waste $6bn on a solution which is going to be obsolete in a decade due to the very same phenomenon for which his “engineering solution” was commissioned in the first place… he should be prosecuted honestly..
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.
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.
People need to stop using fkn feet and inches when talking about any meaningful measurements. I bet they made the engineer use inches too, just because it's an american platform. We all know that an engineer would never use the moronic imperial system.
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.
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.
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.
WTH Boss! How we got better tools than ancient people and still suck dust when it comes to problem solvings. Couldve spent your years for a Master's and looked for a person who can give you wise talk like the good ole days. Fine Ill do it myself, since none of yall got special talents.
More click bait from wsj the picture on the thumbnail is not at all accurately showing how the gates work. The thumbnail makes it look absurd and in turn you click to see something that isn’t reality.
The video is propaganda. Venice is sinking, the tides aren't getting higher nor are is there any change in tide frequency. Tides with storm surges must then be the problem.
sealevel rise year by year😢 sadly to hear that one of the pre historic city didn't sea after a long decade . global warming is to fast than we expected
So they legit have people out their protesting again tbe super levee..This seems counterintuitive doesnt. This can potentially save their homes and livilhoods. Am I missing something that would cause them to protest this?
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.
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.
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!
When a civilization is built upon ports, and those ports are submerged or high and dry, that ends the civilization because the supply chain disruption is so severe. WHAT'S THE ROLE OF FOUNDATION MODELS? Well, you can input all marine archeology and archeology from ports and sea shores such as Troy, Byblos, Shore Forts Roman Britain, Isle Thanet Roman Britain, Chapter 18, Book of Revelation, Egypt, Pompei, Carthage, Caesaria , Israel, and so on PLUS multi modal such as measurements from Rome's port. Then search popular climate change literature from past few decades. Next: AI can search for maritime architectural and civil engineering solutions. Apparently, prior to Rome's hydrophilic cement, ports were designed for sea level fluctuations with hydraulic solutions, much like Canada's St Lawrence Seaway. Troy for example. This is just one way AI can save civilization. You could form a GAN to see what the solution is: Lithium vehicles versus civil engineering.
The same will happen in Alaska in the future and trillions of dollars in infrastructure will go to waste, since they literally built on the edge of water.

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.

Can you include Metric Numbers? Like at 1:35, there is a Human for reference, but measured in feet. At 3:26 Meters is used and then back to inches

Im surprised Venice has only sunk about 10 inches seeing how its built on simple wood pilings ! Pretty cool place.
Its a fantasic idea untill the corrupt greedy people on top start...
They pumped out water from under the city and it began to sink more.. they can put new pylons and slowly jack up the city

Temporary fix at best. But I doubt they will revisit this until it's a problem again.
He studied Long Beach but he didn’t study New Orleans?
The problem with the solution is not the engineering but the public administration in Italy.
Well dam*, if they're letting sewage flow into the lagoon, fix that problem first!
how? get more sand and debris to block water and lift city
Venice wait for me to tour your place.
A city is built on a tree trunks pilings,
it is a game of hourglass, helpless.

Probably corruption
it looks like Venice is the perfect place to test hydrogen from seawater
Stop wasting money on something that cannot be saved. Let it go and relocate.

Sinking and sea level rise is bad
