This Riverlab seminar is about a canal, a man-made river that is longer than most natural rivers.  With its long and layered history, the Grand Canal is now undergoing revitalization as a centerpiece of the cities through which it flows.  In this seminar, two scholars look at the role of the river (current and potential) in Hangzhou and Tianjin.
