A Greener Venice:
The Inventory and Reutilization of Green Spaces on the Giudecca Island
Abstract:
Our study identified and classified green spaces on the island of Giudecca in Venice, Italy. We developed a methodology to classify each of the green spaces as an Urban Wild, Park, Private Garden, or Farmland, and proposed options for reutilization. As a result of our research, we explored several case studies in depth. This methodology can be implemented in other parts of Venice or its Lagoon. If implemented, our recommendations for reutilization on Giudecca would increase usable land by 31%, ultimately making for a more sustainable and greener Venice.

What motivates our team?
Throughout our travels in Venice, we have encountered a multitude of under-utilized green spaces that, with the correct tools and design plans, could be revitalized to improve the face of Venice as a whole. We challenge ourselves to create reutilization plans for as many spaces as possible in order to improve life for the residents of Venezia.
