Rivers are hotspots for biological diversity and sources of ecosystem services. After centuries of degradations, river restoration has been recognized as essential to reestablish their socio-ecological quality. This research aims (1) to identify the different restoration practices and drivers, and examine the particularities of urban river restorations, and (2) to assess the potential conflicts inside the socio-ecological system. It concludes, that the better consideration of the socio-ecological system should allow the maximum benefit for both humans and the environment.
