Earlier I wrote about the final Robinson Crusoe experience of several destroyed islands around the world in a couple of weeks. The islands listed in this post were also devastated once they were settled. but The urbanized built-up area is eventually made over the entire island, forming the island city.

For its world-famous canals, Venice is an archipelago of 117 islands that are connected by 455 bridges. In the old center, canals work roads, and almost every form of transport is water or foot.
The island city is slowly taking over, however, and between the high waves of autumn and winter. Piazza San Marco, the lowest area of the island, was completely flooded. For the past 1000 years, but it has been sinking by about 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) every century. If recent reports have only said so in the last century. so The city of Venice has dropped by about 24 centimeters (9.4 inches). These sea levels may have more to do with rising. Venice in its own foundation than in the Adriatic. A proposed solution to lift the city above sea level by pumping water into the soil below the island city.

And translated as “island of many hills”. In 1625 the Dutch built a fort on the island of Manhattan which marked the birth of New York City.

The nearby large airport island was built this way.

For many tourists, the main reason for visiting the flower is its neighboring Tikal famous Maya relics. But the island city itself is a great destination, full of colonial, red-roofed buildings.
