Abstract
The presentation aims to ascertain if the concept of sustainable development applies to the domain of heritage, and specifically to the city of Venice and its Lagoon. Can Venice be considered a sustainable heritage? To find an answer to this question, the planning tools brought about by local administrations are analysed together with the financing policies carried out by central government: have these instruments been useful for the conservation and life of the city? Moreover: which new (and old) threats endanger the city?
