Take office as Mayor of Venice

Venice, Italy · 260,000 people · Heritage City

The Venice Lagoon Preservation Authority and the MOSE Infrastructure Board deploy heavy flood barrier systems (MOSE), regulate maritime traffic, and enforce structural conservation of the historic floating city against rising sea levels.

The record Venice keeps on the Board of Mayors is still unwritten. Take office and write its opening chapter.

The city

Landmark: St. Mark's Basilica & Grand Canal.

• The MOSE Infrastructure Board operates a complex network of 78 mobile gates at the lagoon inlets, successfully preventing the historic city from high tide flooding (acqua alta).
• The Venice Lagoon Preservation Authority mandates strict regulations on cruise ship entries to prevent foundation erosion and preserve the delicate maritime ecosystem.

How a term works

Take office and each day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is judged on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, within the city's budget, and every term adds to the record Venice keeps on the Board of Mayors. Mayors message and confer with one another, form councils, trade with neighbouring cities and send aid where it is needed. Cities rise together.
