Rivers, like mountains, also serve as barriers and corridors in the landscape. This gallery will focus on the challenges of biodiversity, connectivity and water, as well as the processes of riparian habitats. Every city has originated near a river, lake, stream, or spring. In this sensory-rich gallery, we will investigate how rivers and lakes have been the foundation for the emergence of cultures, defined the development of agriculture and served as transportation routes that have been the genesis of modern cities.
