The RIVERLINKS project proposes the settling of territories along metropolitan river systems. In the majority of metropolitan regions, the city - river interface represents both a limit and potentiality.

The main objective of the operation is to actuate an inter-regional collaboration and exchange between the partners involved with the purpose of creating a new approach to the territorial configuration of metropolitan river basins and to the definition of a renewed city - river interface.

Intermediate objectives
