Though long neglected by urban planners, Johannesburg's Jukskei River has had an important role in shaping the city's development and the lives of its inhabitants. In this book, a multidisciplinary group of social and natural scientists, community activists, journalists, and artists explore that role with an eye toward improving the human-environment interface.
