	abstract = {Urban waterways (rivers, wetlands and estuaries) are highly valued assets in cities throughout the world, and for this reason there is now increased global interest in the effective management of these assets. This paper uses a review of the historical evolution of urban waterway management in the city of greater Melbourne (Australia) over the past 50 years to draw out the major practice changes and lessons learned that we believe will be relevant to other cities. Further, we have used this information to develop a conceptual framework for urban waterway management consisting of three broad components: enabler actions (policy/management strategies; links to catchments; links to urban planning); outcomes (enhanced environmental values; community values; indigenous cultural values); and knowledge to assess progress with the strategy implementation and potential area for modification (adaptive management). In a companion paper we consider future challenges, due to climate change, population growth and increased urbanisation, and the need to more closely link urban waterway management and green city planning (Hart et al., in preparation).},

	abstract = {This paper continues the analysis of the management of urban waterways in Greater Melbourne, Australia, commenced with our first paper. We focus first on the increasing emphasis on waterways and their corridors as part of Melbourne’s liveability, and then on the future management of waterways and their corridors in the face of the three most pressing future challenges – climate change, population increase, and urban expansion and densification. The long history of the development of parks, gardens and open spaces in Melbourne is reviewed. These open-spaces initially occurred with quite strong linkage to the waterways, enabled by the city’s unique institutional arrangements, but were substantially weakened as a result of policy and governance reforms in the 1990s. Melbourne will need to substantially improve the integration of the management of urban waterways and their corridors with the planning, development and management of the city’s associated green spaces if it is to achieve the expected community liveability standards in the face of the above three future challenges. Additionally, if waterway management remains with the existing agency (Melbourne Water), the authorising environment and the culture and mindset of this agency will need to change its focus from the current ‘city servicing’ institutional model to a ‘city shaping’ model.},
