{"product_id":"river-cities-city-rivers-thasa-way-9780884024255","title":"River Cities, City Rivers","description":"\u003cp\u003eCities have been built alongside rivers throughout history. These rivers can shape a city's success or cause its destruction. At the same time, city-building reshapes rivers and their landscapes. Cities have harnessed, modified, and engineered rivers, altering ecologies and creating new landscapes in the process of urbanization. Rivers are also shaped by the development of cities as urban landscapes, just as the cities are shaped by their relationship to the river. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the river city, the city river is a dynamic contributor to the urban landscape with its flow of urban economies, geographies, and cultures. Yet we have rarely given these urban landscapes their due. Building on emerging interest in the resilience of cities, this book and the original symposium consider river cities and city rivers to explore how histories have shaped the present and how they might inform our visions of the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tha?a Way\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884024253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884024255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Tha?a Way","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072869363967,"sku":"9780884024255","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be569d47-f2bc-41f4-901d-69d09ff02869.jpg?v=1685444416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/river-cities-city-rivers-thasa-way-9780884024255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
