The transformative role of rivers in the evolution of urban landscapes: a case study from urban rivers of Chelmsford in Essex
Urban rivers across Europe have a long history of anthropogenic intervention and active use that make up a key part of our cultural landscapes. This article focuses on the morphological transformation processes of urban rivers in Europe. It approaches the topic through a review of the function, meaning and identity of rivers within the urban context. This is illustrated here using the case study of the urban sections of the rivers Chelmer and Can in Chelmsford, Essex, tracing the formation and transformation of their urban character and identifying the determinants of the development of Chelmsford’s urban form over time.
