This study analyzes the historic center of Venice, a unique urban and landscape entity in constant dialogue with the surrounding lagoon. Its historical evolution is characterized by continuous adaptations and interventions that have shaped a delicate balance between land and water. Since the 19th century, railway and industrial development has radically transformed urban dynamics, while the 20th century saw the rise of mass tourism and the petrochemical industry in Porto Marghera. These factors, combined with depopulation and increasing high waters, have posed significant challenges to the sustainability of the historic center. Despite planning and conservation efforts, Venice continues to face demographic, environmental, and tourist pressures that threaten its delicate urban and social fabric. The future vision for the city requires an integrated approach that balances heritage protection with sustainable development, considering the historic insula as part of a broader lagoon ecosystem.
In questo studio si analizza il centro storico di Venezia, un unicum urbanistico e paesaggistico in costante dialogo con la laguna circostante. La sua evoluzione storica è caratterizzata da continui adattamenti e interventi che hanno plasmato un delicato equilibrio tra terra e acqua. Dal XIX secolo, lo sviluppo ferroviario e industriale ha trasformato radicalmente le dinamiche urbane, mentre il XX secolo ha visto l'affermarsi del turismo di massa e dell'industria petrolchimica a Porto Marghera. Questi fattori, uniti allo spopolamento e all'aumento delle acque alte, hanno posto sfide significative alla sostenibilità del centro storico. Nonostante gli sforzi di pianificazione e conservazione, Venezia continua a confrontarsi con pressioni demografiche, ambientali e turistiche che minacciano il suo delicato tessuto urbano e sociale. La visione futura per la città richiede un approccio integrato che bilanci la tutela del patrimonio con lo sviluppo sostenibile, considerando l'insula storica come parte di un ecosistema lagunare più ampio

Abstract
This study analyzes the historic center of Venice, a unique urban and landscape entity in constant dialogue with the surrounding lagoon. Its historical evolution is characterized by continuous adaptations and interventions that have shaped a delicate balance between land and water. Since the 19th century, railway and industrial development has radically transformed urban dynamics, while the 20th century saw the rise of mass tourism and the petrochemical industry in Porto Marghera. These factors, combined with depopulation and increasing high waters, have posed significant challenges to the sustainability of the historic center. Despite planning and conservation efforts, Venice continues to face demographic, environmental, and tourist pressures that threaten its delicate urban and social fabric. The future vision for the city requires an integrated approach that balances heritage protection with sustainable development, considering the historic insula as part of a broader lagoon ecosystem.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
