Scenarios about 'MOSE project'
The MOSE project (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico) is a flood barrier system designed to protect Venice, Italy from high tides and flooding. Consisting of 78 mobile gates installed at the three inlets to the Venetian Lagoon, this engineering megaproject was developed in response to Venice's increasing vulnerability to acqua alta events and rising sea levels due to climate change. The system became fully operational in 2020 after decades of planning, controversy, and construction.
What If Venice Implemented Different Flood Protection Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where Venice constructed effective flood protection systems decades before MOSE, potentially saving the city from devastating acqua alta events and changing the trajectory of historic preservation.
