Historic Centre of Mexico City and Xochimilco
Mexico City was built by the Spanish in the 16th century on the ruins of the ancient Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan and is now one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the world. The city contains five Aztec temples whose ruins have been identified, a cathedral (the largest on the continent) and some fine 19th and 20th century public buildings, such as the Palace of Fine Arts. Xochimilco is 28 km south of Mexico City. Xochimilco's numerous canals and artificial islands bear witness to the Aztecs' efforts to build a homeland in a harsh environment. Xochimilco's unique urban and rural architecture, built in the 16th century and during the colonial period, is well preserved.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal
The Pontkistheaster Aqueduct and Canal, located in northeast Wales, is an 18 km long feat of civil engineering during the Industrial Revolution, completed in the early 19th century. The complex geography of the canal required a number of daring civil engineering solutions, not least because it was built without the use of locks. A pioneering masterpiece of engineering and monumental metal architecture, the aqueduct was designed by the renowned civil engineer Thomas Telford. The use of both cast and wrought iron allowed the construction of arches that were both lightweight and strong, and the overall effect is both magnificent and elegant. The site is listed as a masterpiece of creative genius and an extraordinary synthesis of established European expertise. It is also considered an innovative whole that has inspired many projects around the world.
Seventeenth-Century Canal Ring Area of Amsterdam inside the Singelgracht
The historic urban complex of Amsterdam's canal district was a project for a new "port city" built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It included a network of canals to the west and south of the historic old town and the medieval port surrounding the old town, while relocating the city's defensive border, the Singel, inland. It was a long-term plan that involved extending the city by draining marshland, using a system of canals in concentric arcs, and filling in the spaces in between. These spaces allowed the development of a homogeneous urban complex with gabled houses and numerous monuments. This urban extension was the largest and most homogeneous of its time. It was a model for large-scale town planning and was a reference worldwide until the 19th century.
Water Management System of Augsburg
The city of Augsburg's water management system evolved through several stages from the 14th century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers built between the 15th and 17th centuries that housed pumps, a water-cooled butcher's hall, a system of three monumental fountains, and hydroelectric power stations that still provide sustainable energy today. The technical innovations that resulted from this water management system helped make Augsburg a pioneer in hydraulic engineering.
