Résumé:
Memories carried by water drench our biographies and shared history. In this book, edited and curated by Moniek Driesse, the past, present, and future imaginaries that govern our relationship with water are permitted to draw maps that can serve as tools for urban administrators, researchers, and citizens who live the reality determined by them. With this approach, long-term memories carried by the urban landscape reflect into possible narratives of hope for the future. The focus is on Mexico City, where rivers have turned into highways and subterranean basins are drying out, presenting new dangers to the city.

Résumé:
Between 1919 and 1940, Kaunas served as Lithuania’s temporary capital, triggering a massive boom in construction that greatly increased its urban area. For this instalment of the Subjective Atlas series, a group of almost 40 creative residents mapped the contemporary identity of Kaunas through their personal interests, experiences, and domesticity, visualising the heritage and history of Lithuania’s second-largest city. The book highlights a surprising collection of urban, natural, and everyday spaces and artefacts, inviting readers to reflect on how this material and immaterial modernist heritage is perceived or observed, appreciated or disliked, ignored or associated with.
