Urban rivers are a unique and important part of our evolving relationship with nature. Once essential for the development of civilization, they were neglected and abused in the twentieth century, with channels, dams, and sewage and toxic waste filling them. However, Rewilding the Urban Frontier argues that the Anthropocene presents opportunities for rethinking our relationship to the natural world and potentially healing the age-old rift between humans and nature. The Clean Water Act of 1972 spurred a cleanup of the nations waterways, but explosive urban growth has since fragmented the wildlife corridors and ecosystems along our rivers. The contributors to this volume contend that if done right, rewilding urban rivers can help avoid further loss of biodiversity and simultaneously address environmental and social inequities.
