Venezia fu costruita su fondamenta di circa 10.000.000 di tronchi di legno sottomarini, 1200 anni dopo, quegli stessi tronchi sostengono ancora quasi tutta Venezia. Prima di iniziare a costruire i palazzi che costeggiano i canali, i veneziani piantavano palafitte di legno nel fango

So the question is, why insist on building a city there, where its not so good, instead of building it in an area that’s better?
I was there recently for the first time and we ventured to a nearby island where the locals and students live. It was such a strange place to choose to live, as the whole surrounded by water thing is a hurdle that all those people have accepted. There isn’t an option to grab a taxi, a bike or a scooter if you’re late somewhere. You have to rely on the public transport system which must be efficient for this city to function.
Same for Amsterdam. They now use concrete but there are still loads and loads of wooden logs under the city.
