City ponders reviving buried rivers
Rivers can be buried, but they don’t die. The city is thinking of bringing some of them back to the light, at least partly because they would help with rain runoff at peak times.

Wherever you go in Japan there’s just tons of canalized rivers (or are they actually open-air sewers, I dunno). South Korea too. I think there’s a lot of charm to these canal-side areas.

This has been part of a shift in thinking in environmental policy for over a decade now, but it’s very good that we are starting to see it put into actual practice.
When it comes down to it, there are huge costs both ways. Some of these artificial channels are cracking and failing, and require renovation at huge expense. Bringing it back may or may not be more expensive, but its not by as much as one would think, on top of all its secondary benefits.
