The thematic dossier “Waters that Shape Territories: Reinventing Rivers in Contemporary Cities” emerges from the international research and action network Cyted RUN | Rios Urbanos Naturalizados, dedicated to revaluing river landscapes and integrating them into contemporary urban dynamics. The six contributions assembled here reflect a shared commitment to rethinking the relationship between cities and rivers. They explore rivers as ecological, technical, and cultural elements, highlighting their potential to foster more sustainable and inclusive urban futures.
