The International Urban Development Association (INTA), together with Central European Institute of Technology (CEIT), organised a one-day round-table hosted at the 17th Real Corp International Conference in Austria. This international event represents the occasion to explore the new dimensions of urban development along river basins. Several fascinating cases have been identified that provide solutions to the questions raised by the metropolisation process. Policy makers, urban stakeholders and practitioners were there to inspire an imaginative and critic approach to future policy development. Thematic issue that were explored included: How such corridor can foster regional interactions; How sharing a river basin can be leverage for a coherent and cohesive development; How to maintain a balanced urban growth together with the protection of natural corridors; Which integrated governance mechanism allows sharing large infrastructural equipments along a river basin; How to develop different scales of connection fostering urban and regional interactions along the river and within the territories around. Presentations, a final report, and background documentation are available online.
