Our meeting was inspired by the River Cities Network (RCN), a transdisciplinary network to promote ecologically and socially inclusive revitalization of rivers and the landscapes/riverscapes, cities and neighborhoods that co-exist with them. ukna.asia/river-cities.
Our speaker at this hybrid meeting was Mahendranath Sudhindranath, IIT Madras India & RWTH Aachen University, who gave a presentation on the topic "Achieving Food Security through Backwater Reclamation in a Princely State in Colonial India, 1880-1947".
Inspired by his presentation, we presented three emerging research projects and discussed further work steps. We took the opportunity to share information about the network and discuss our role in it.
