For centuries, dating back to Indigenous peoples, the river and waterways have shaped patterns of settlement, serving as routes for communication and exchange.
In the metropolitan region, with its archipelago of hundreds of islands, this has resulted in a rich heritage of archaeological sites, buildings and ensembles, as well as villages and landscapes that define the identity of the territory.
