A Hydro-Heritage Cities Journey in 7 min

Edited on 09/11/2026

By the ROME URBACT Team. A short video presenting a 2 years collaboration among 6 European cities promoting the regeneration of water related heritage sites.

More than a look back memory, this short film, narrates the diversity of contexts, types of cultural heritage in connection with water and inventive practices that the Hydro-Heritage Cities (Chalandri, Roeselare, Serpa, Sombor, Elche, Rome) developed during the project. By following our network’s city visits juxtaposed by properties of the project’s transfer methodology, provides a refreshing glimpse into the innovative legacy that leaves behind, as it is captured by the video’s final words: 

Hydro-Heritage, our water, our history, our future. 

 

Thank you to all in Rome for capturing the essence, the trajectory and the efforts of all the Hydro-Heritage cities to put their hydro-heritage into the spotlight of urban innovation, environmental regeneration and social participation.
