MESTRE - GENERAL INFORMATION:
| Mestre was incorporated within the official city limits of Venice in
1926. From that point on the mayor of Venice has been
responsible for an area twice the size of the original island site
of the city. The incorporation of Mestre has caused many urban
problems.
The space and potential for expansion on the mainland, the decreased
cost of living, and the plentitude of schools and jobs has lured
Venice’s population away from the Historic Core. |

Although,
the thought of cutting Mestre loose is appealing, the district is
crucial to Venice. The Port of Maghera, an area of high
industrial and shipping activity, lies within the city limits.
These factories and ports are crucial to Venice, essentially acting
as the city Central Business District and keeping Venice in the
global economy. However, Maghera threatens Venice by creating
the possibility of an oil spill in the lagoon and generating water
and air pollution.
