The ANDROID Case Study; Venice and its Territory: Existing Mitigation Options and Challenges for the Future

Venice and its Lagoon face significant risks from cross-border disasters, necessitating a holistic approach to risk assessment. A case study within the ANDROID project identifies strategic mitigation options while addressing open questions and future research needs. The paper evaluates the MOSE project, a robust intervention involving mobile dikes at lagoon openings, which has sparked debate due to potential environmental impacts. It suggests further proposals for the global safeguard of Venice, providing a reference point for scientists and educators to translate multifaceted knowledge into specific solutions. This study is part of a broader effort by the City of Venice to participate in the UNISDR Program 'Making Cities Resilient.'
