    The city of Venice has a unique urban form that developed due to its geography and history. As Venice is built on islands surrounded by water, its layout consists of narrow streets and alleys that follow the shape of the islands. Over centuries, residents built the city by erecting wooden piles driven into the mud and sand, then constructing simple houses of wood and masonry on top.
