Abstract

channelization in Agra and Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) as integral to Badshajahan's urbane imperial city. Yamuna waters flowed through the public areas (there were tree-lined canals in the middle of urban avenues) as well as private realms. David Malta pointed to two competing San Antonio images: the archetypal ersatz historical San Antonio River Walk, a major tourist draw increasingly avoided by residents; and the river as part of a progressive system of water conservation, recycling, restoration and flood protection. Ray Gastil reported that Pittsburgh's steel mills along the Monongahela and Allegheny are now gone, maintaining that the city's populace had been eager to turn their backs on the old industrial image. Arguing that to connect community and river health is nothing new, he cited early 20th century studies that resulted from a 1907 Carnegie Institute exhibition dramatizing Pittsburgh's typhoid deaths. Given the prevalence of designers in the group, it was somewhat surprising that no recently designed built landscapes were presented (at least none this writer can recall.) Indeed, the most developed designs were presented in the most disquieting talk. In "DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER! Re- Imagining China's Urban Waterfronts," Edith Katz discussed two Martha Schwartz and Partners projects.
