| Welcome |
can rivers make us more creative?
can we bring our creativity back to the rivers?
we believe we can
Want your river to be an exciting, inspiring, and unique experience?
Well, that’s not necessarily easy, but possible.
You can change your river and let it change you.
Rivers are often regarded as simply means of transport, or – at best – a space for water sports. But they are also powerful and symbolic icons for connecting people and ideas across regions and national borders. They are the land’s blood system that can both join and sometimes divide people. They are THE PLACE that may connect many important fields in the city: environment, architecture, city planning, transport, but also arts, culture, cultural tourism, and education.
The River//Cities Platform is a partnership between cultural, environmental and political initiatives which work in their cities to interact with and develop their rivers or waterfronts as cultural spaces.
Take a look at River//Cities members, join us and let your river and River//Cities inspire you :)

| New member - Venti di Cultura, Venice |
 Venti di Cultura is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 in order to promote projects aiming to foster cultural exchange and awareness, with attention to the implementation of cultural routes along the Mediterranean coast. From its establishment, the Association has already undertaken two main projects:the first one (2006-2008) goes on the trail of the lion of Venice (www.sullealidelleone.it); while the second one (2007-2009) goes on the trail of the cathedrals of the sea along the Italian coast (www.cattedralidelmare.it). Nowadays, with a new draft itinerary on the Venetian lagoon, the Association proposes a third project addressed to enhance the natural and cultural features of the archipelago of Venice (www.lagunalonga.it). |
