As rivers have shaped human settlement patterns, economies, culture and rituals, so too have humans impacted the flow and health of rivers. In Asia, the sheer scale of urbanization increases the urgency of addressing challenges facing urban rivers, leading to the importance of historically, socially, and culturally relevant solutions. However, cities are also uneven landscapes of power, affecting chances to achieve holistic ecological approaches. The central premise of River Cities in Asia is that a "river city" is one where proximity between a river and a city exists across time and space, natural and social dimensions. Recognition of these deep connections can help to better contextualize policy solutions aimed at rivers and their ecologies, including human life. 410 0$aAsian cities. 517 $aRiver Cities in Asia 606 $aRivers$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology)$zAsia 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects$zAsia 615 0$aRivers$xSocial aspects 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a333.91/62095 702 $aPadawangi$b Rita 702 $aRabe$b Paul 702 $aPerkasa$b Adrian$f1988- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910627227903321 996 $aRiver Cities in Asia$92984726 997 $aUNINA
