The durable development of the urban space is a sensitive element where the city meets with river spaces. River cities, located mainly in Europe, do not always have a positive interface with their rivers and their spaces.

RIVERLINKS has proposed putting online six cities with similar problems that are all about to start improvement actions to their river territories, with the perspective of obtaining efficient results in relation with environmental improvement, protection of natural systems and cultural landscapes along with the safety for citizens.
Such activities cross paths and come together in a collaboration and comparison system apt to orient choices on a wide scale. Each partner will develop a settling plan by coming down to feasibility levels and four of them will carry on with the realization of pilot plans.
We want to supply precise information on the contents of this operation and of its purpose, to describe approaches and methods used for the attainment of the purposes described as well as the reasons behind such methods.
Activities are localised in the South: Florence, Bordeaux and Seville; in the North: Bremen, Dresden and Tallinn.
