Living with water: Lost or Forgotten Rivers and Waterbodies in Manila and London

Many urban regions include lost or forgotten rivers, particularly with city growth and rivers becoming buried beneath the streets. Here, as part of the research grant "Multi-hazards & resilience in hyper-expanding cities: Learning from each other how to build more resilient Hanoi and Manila cities" we compile many existing resources, including historical and current artwork (paintings, sculptures, photographs), books, literature, and museum exhibits, that explore these lost or forgotten rivers. We do this for London (31 resources) and Manila (23 resources) and present them in two virtual walls (Padlet). These resources offer glimpses into the past and current ‘lost’ rivers, artist representations of living with the water and floods, and the regeneration of these river and water bodies by community groups.
