The authors prove that each \((n+2)\)-web of hypersurfaces defines a unique projective structure for which the web is geodesic, while every pointed \((n+2)\)-web of hypersurfaces defines a unique affine connection for which the web is geodesic and the chosen foliation is defined by the affine function. They also prove necessary and sufficient conditions that a d-web be geodesic or locally linearizable.
