Book Description
The book charts the architectural and urban changes in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries as demolition, rebuilding, and landfill projects have
altered the city. Conservation issues from the 1800s through modern efforts to
protect the city and lagoon against the sea - particularly in the wake of the
disastrous flood of 1966 - are discussed. In addition, the social restructuring
of the city is scrutinised, from Napoleon's conquest and the years under French
and Austrian control through the upheavals of the World Wars to the battles in
recent decades against depopulation and the threats posed by the sea, industrial
pollution and mass tourism
