Description

River Cities in Asia explores the deep connection between waterways and urban growth across the Asian continent. This volume examines how rivers have shaped settlement patterns, local economies, culture, and rituals. It also looks at how human activity has changed the flow and health of these vital water systems. As urbanization grows rapidly in Asia, the need to address the challenges facing urban rivers becomes more urgent. This book provides a multi-disciplinary perspective from both the humanities and social sciences to help find solutions that are historically, socially, and culturally relevant. It also examines how cities function as uneven landscapes of power, which can affect the ability to reach holistic environmental goals. This academic resource is essential for those studying urban development, history, and the environmental impact of growing metropolitan areas. It offers a deep look into how the relationship between people and water continues to evolve in one of the world's most rapidly changing regions.
