title: How to tackle flooding in Venice. What are the institutional and material causes of MOSE’s failure?
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Literature discusses reasons and incentives behind the undertaking of public projects, and the role of factors such as corruption and stakeholders involvement as drivers of megaprojects’ success and failure. The main consensus is that insufficient stakeholders involvement, processes lacking transparency and institutional checks are factors hindering the appropriate realization of the project, resulting in cost and time overruns. The thesis tests the existing theories by linking them to the case-study of the failure of Venice’s MOSE, a flood protection mobile-barrier infrastructure.
