WHY VENICE?
Venice 1577
Venice is a human scale working model of contemporary challenges: population, environment, democracy and a more sustainable and equitable future.
Reconciling tradition and innovation, authenticity and quality of life, conservation and evolution, Venice is being reimagined with the possibility of technology and the force of survival.
Venice offers 1,600 years of history you can reach out and touch with innovations and influence that span the globe.
A tiny cosmopolitan city. A finite geography. A symbiotic ecosystem. An elective place of residence. Venice is a city of the future.
