Today we experience the effects of this expansion in the form of escalating water problems. The book outlines the processes of transformation of anthropogenic, natural and waterborne structures in urban environment, which were presented in three historical phases: the period of \u003ci\u003eRespect\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConquest\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eReturn\u003c\/i\u003e. River-friendly cities require integrated water management in entire catchments from the source to the recipient. The key to the success of the \u003ci\u003eReturn\u003c\/i\u003e strategy is the recovery of space for greenery and water, responsible spatial planning, circular economy and rainwater management as well as continuous raising of awareness of the whole society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Januchta-Szostak\u003c\/strong\u003e is a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture, Poznań University of Technology, and expert in the development of riparian areas and water sensitive urban design.
