“First and foremost, Rivers Lost, Rivers Regained is about interactions between a city and its river. This interaction is simultaneous, as the city transforms the river, the river transforms the city. This is effectively demonstrated in a collection of case studies that form a journey around the globe to the hybrid river-cities relationships of different contexts and time periods. An inspirational component of this book is the historical analyses of how cities try to regain their lost rivers—Tunjuelo in Colombia and Fez in Morocco, are fascinating examples.” —Eva Jakobsson, University of Stavanger
