Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?
- Please summarise:- e.g. previous experience, is it your everyday environment?, specific vulnerability, previous research being done etc.
Venice is a World heritage City. It is rich of historic architecture and have its own culture within Italy. Because of the city's architectural, historic and culture importance we have selected the lagoon of Venice. The underground of the lagoon is sinking, the lagoon's ecosystem is destroyed and the Ciy of Venice is endangered to go down in few years. This process is speed up by the increasing sea levels caused by the climate change and . But an important aspect is that a great part of this danger was caused by manhand for example by the built of the large shipping channels.
