The importance of rivers in the life of cities is described and how technology and improvements in transportation have removed the necessity of founding cities beside rivers. Waterside urban regeneration and river restoration, including some examples, are described and discussed. Coastal cities, including seaside resorts, and threats from sea level rises and climate change are also considered.
