Which city has the longest canals?

We dive back into the world of waterways after a listener question about who has the longest canals.

After a listener emailed More or Less to ask whether world famous Venice or the slightly less famous English city of Birmingham has more canals, Daniel Gordon decided to investigate and widen the question to the whole world – with some interesting answers.

Guests:
Giovanni Giusto, Venice City Councillor
David Edwards-May, Inland Waterways International
Dr Hamed Samir, University of Basra
Bai Liye, Editor of China Grand Canal

Presenter/Producer: Daniel Gordon
