Abstract
In this chapter, Friedrich Kuhlmann, Jekaterina Balicka and Anna Wilczynskav cover the aspects related to different types of rivers as found in the project reviews and also through first-hand experience. It starts with an overview of urban rivers, a history of how they have been mistreated, regulated, polluted, buried and rediscovered. The main risks and benefits for health and well-being are described. Some principles being adopted for restoration are presented. Then a selection of inspirational projects is introduced, and each is evaluated and compared with the others against the set of criteria already defined in Chapter 10.
