Title: Les métropoles fluviales
Description: Ambitious urban projects are often developed around major river ports -- converting banks into housing in Strasbourg and Lille; and, docks built for cultural events in Paris and Lyon. These river projects seek to bring nature into the heart of cities. Innovative alliances between developers, geographers, sociologists, and economists, etc. must take place in order to create a sustainable urban development.
