Latitude’s draft-book “Living with Water: Veneto 2100” is finally printed. The book collects the results of the research Living with water in the Veneto region that was carried on during the last year. The book is articulated in four chapters that mirror the main research case studies: the Veneto;  the Po Delta Region; the Monti Lessini Creeks; the Piave River Dry Plains.

What is the future of the Veneto region given the threats posed by rising sea levels, heavy rainfall, floods and drought? What will it look like in 2100?

Latitude has imagined how three different territories might be transformed starting from a number of water threats and opportunities.Widening the riverbeds, establishing spatial corridors to buffer peaks water flow, replenishing the groundwater through the use of new basins, storing water to counteract periods of drought, reactivating the natural relationship between the rivers and the sea and accommodating the rising sea water levels are strategies that should work hand in hand with new processes of urbanization. In implementing such strategies, water becomes the starting point for rethinking, reshaping and restructuring the territories of the Veneto in an effort to design more resilient cities.
