Lost Rivers
, a subterranean adventure exploring the past, present and future of lost urban rivers around the globe.
Once flowing through nearly every developed city in the world, lost rivers provide the infrastructure upon which our modern metropolises were built. In this adventurous and revelatory look into the disappearance and recent resurfacing of these historic waterways,

leads us down the drain into vast underground museums of urban development. Guiding us through the hidden river networks of London, Brescia (Italy), Montreal and Toronto, intrepid groups of subterranean explorers known as “drainers” reveal the buried waterways that house the secrets of each city’s past. Exploring recent initiatives to resurface and revitalize these forgotten waterways in Yonkers and Seoul, the fascinating
