Description
As commerce and industry along rivers fade, opportunities for riverfront revitalization blossom. Urban rivers can be transformed into cultural and ecological assets with the ideas in this book.
Case studies from San Jose to Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C., show how river restoration projects have economic and environmental benefits. Kibel also examines the different roles of stakeholders, including the federal government and nonprofit groups, and funding.
