Phantom Rivers: The Hidden Waterways that Built Our Cities
from Intellectually Curious Hosted by Mike Breault
We uncover phantom cities defined by riverine logic: buried systems (medieval rivers and culverted canals), drowned landscapes (post-glacial river basins now submerged), and canalized rivers forgotten in the city’s routine. From Perugia’s 13th-century aqueduct to London’s Lost Rivers and modern restoration efforts, archaeology, geophysics, and proactive urban design are reviving these invisible streams to inform resilient futures.
