| 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.
Vienna (Austria), Rijeka (Croatia), Berlin (Germany), Budapest (Hungary), Dublin (Ireland), Venice (Italy), Skopje (Macedonia), Gdansk and Warsaw (Poland), Lisbon (Portugal), Stockholm (Sweden), London (United Kingdom), and... – let your river and River//Cities inspire you :)
