Synopsis

Renaturing Urban Rivers explores and analyses the relationship between river recovery and riverine communities, offering unique perspectives. It focuses on restoring green and blue infrastructure to regenerate urban environments, mitigate climate change, improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and create new open spaces. The cases show that long-term restoration success relies heavily on extensive community involvement, which acts as a foundational element to align project benefits with social needs, foster local stewardship, and enhance urban sustainability. This is where Renaturing Urban Rivers sets its objectives: to better understand the opportunities and challenges of involving riverine communities in restoration efforts.
