How much did it blow your mind when you learned that there are 17 million people living in these shitty swamps?

Makes global warming not seem so bad after all
they excavated their swamp and dumped earth on it
and only the greeny parts are the former swamp they have forests and stuff too
>2/3 of Latvia
>8 times the population
Do you even have pic related
>>51894214
Yeah, in the pants of some latvian girls in the red light district.
Not as much as when I learned of their German blood.
>>51894298

its interesting you can actually see the seaside dunes on a heightmap of the netherlands
>>51894451
Even our entire system of dykes
Pretty cool desu
>>51893652
>tfw below sea level right now
>>51893652
Dis is my swamp
>>51894620
I bet ayy lmaos go "look, benis!" when they look at this from space
>>51894620
don't have to convince me, how you managed to turn what once might have actually been a shitty swamp into your current country is pretty darn impressive
half of your land is below sea level while someone like say the USA has issues keep a single city dry
only thing we sort of have you can see from outer space is the antwerp port
North west Italy is a little bit bigger (but half are mountains) and has a similar population, I'm not impressed.
>>51895237
It's also equally German, in cultural terms.
>>51895314
lolno, don't talk about things you don't know.
>>51895449
Northern Italy = Germany/Austria
Southern Italy = Africa

>>51895519
I don't follow.

No idea what happened that year, ugly chink
>>51895519
>>"I know because muh heritage!"

Yeah all 5 of them
>>51895584
What happened in 1824? We were literally busy with Belgium at that time.

Do you still have serious plans for building Markerwaard?
>>51895698

>>51896156
pretty sure not but what we do have there is an artificial island in an artificial lake with its own 1km-diameter artificial lake

Sad, would have been an interesting construction project.
What's the purpose for that...ring?
>>51896428
>The IJsseloog is an artificial island in the Ketelmeer used as a deposit of silt pollution. Most of that silt was deposited in the Ketelmeer by the IJssel river between 1950 and 1990.
Removal of silt soil from the Ketelmeer lake also aims to deepen the channel leading to the mouth of the IJssel (to at least a depth of 3.5m), thus aiming to improve access to the river for navigation.
During construction of the IJsseloog, a major concern was to preserve the water table and the environment of Ketelmeer. The silt is to be stored permanently and without any risk of leakage. For now, cleaning the silt is not yet feasible. To avoid nuisance to agriculture and to local residents, the deposit was built in the centre of the lake and not on the coast. IJsseloog is also a target for recreational and ecological development. Two other artificial islands were created: Hanzeplaat and Schokkerbank.
The construction of IJsseloog started in 1996 and was completed in 1999. The deposit can hold 20 million cubic metres of silt. In this capacity, 15 million cubic metres are intended for the deposit of silt from the Ketelmeer, and the remaining 5 million cubic metres will be used to deposit silt from elsewhere. The amount of waste that is stored on the island amounts to 23 million m3.[1]
A port was built on the outer edge of the IJsseloog. Once the deposit is completed, remediation will be done by decantation. Clean silt will be used to construct new ecological zone, the IJsselmonding. The clean sludge that is released will be used for the construction of a natural IJssel estuary.
A treatment plant began operating in 2000. Its processing station separates sand and peat from contaminants. Purified sand will be used for construction, and the remaining sludge is pumped to storage. When storage is full, the layers of clay and sand will be sealed, and the island itself will be used for recreational purposes. After that process, Nature will take over in the IJsseloog.
>>51896428
They've learned from Flevoland and won't that mistake again
>Almere
>Lelystad
JUST
>>51896731
Noordoostpolder is OK-ish though. Built before the profession of architect was made open only to the retarded.
>>51896731
So what exactly are the mistakes they did there? I see that the urban planning in Almere stad and Lelystad is pretty bad but that's the case in all of the neighborhoods designed in that era. Is there some environmental issues considering those polders?
>>51896592
Bretty cool, nature is your enemy :D
>>51897333
"Lots" of foreigners live in Almere and Lelystad.
They are pretty much hated by people outside of Flevoland, even though it's not that bad, just boring because it's all new
>>51897333
actually nature is our bitch, we have tamed the sea and and the rivers :^)
>>51897333
Well it was a mistake to use that land to create those cancer-tier cities. It would have been perfect to create a new airport close to Amsterdam and slowly take some pressure away from Schiphol.
There's some cool nature there though, which can be seen in the movie De Nieuwe Wildernis. But as a Fin you won't be impressed by our nature lel
>>51893652
>shitty
>>51897756
I think much of the boringness is caused by poor urban planning that neglects urbanity and the city centers of those towns. Nowadays they're mixing the zones more, like residential and commercial buildings are built in the same areas and so on that it would create more vivid street life.

>>51893652
Nederlanders are literally the most powerful European race
>>51893652
How much did it blow your mind when you learned that there are 38 million people living in this hellish shithole?
>>51898012
I like having a separate place where all the shops a clubs are, and living in a place where it's quiet.
Every neighbourhood has it's "shopping centre" with a supermarket and some smaller stores.
And the infrastructure is amazing, separate buslanes, rail lines above street level, so you can ride/walk underneath them, big main streets between the neighbourhoods.
>>51898209
almere aub
>>51898258
Ga ergens anders haten als je niet weet waar je het over hebt
>>51897333
They could have done anything with the newly acquired land. Thousands of square kilometers of pristine land, and all they built is awful suburban hellholes.
There were some pretty cool utopian ideas for the new land, but not one of them came to fruition.
>>51898300
>almere
hoop dat je het ook weet waar je het over moet hebben als marokkanen je verkrachten
>>51898209
And they're still building those quieter areas too, but the aim is to make the distances walkable (or cyckleable(???:D)). In the 60s, 70s, and 80s they thought everyone would drive a car in the future so that's why the street life is dead and distances are long. In America this is brought to extreme and they may have residential areas like of multiple sq kilometers without any stores or work places.
>>51898466
Er zijn hier niet zo veel Marokkanen, dat is maar iets van 5% van de bevolking hier. En dan voornamelijk in Stedenwijk.
Nog nooit bedreigt of berooft geweest, of mij onveilig gevoelt.
Maar jij hebt een mening die nergens op gebaseerd is behalve dan een paar media artikelen.
>>51898517
Here is everything cycleable, its the quickest transport here even. I can take the bus and train too if I wanted. The car is the worst option in the city.
>>51898315
Well they're now building some nice neighborhoods there... Can you tell me what kind of utopian ideas were proposed?
>>51898690
schreeuw je dat ook als je in de moskee bent?
>>51898755
Nee, want ik ben Joods-Christelijk/Katholiek opgevoed zoals 90% van de Almeerders.
>>51895314
why are americans on this board so stupid yet so self-assured in their stupidity? Are you the product of the,just do it listen to your dreams don't let anybody stop you be self confident everyone is winner generation :?
>claustrophobic swampland like some asian country
>people have room to grow 6+ (+1.83 m)
wut
>>51893652
and somehow the manage to export vegetables. They are awful plastic-like,nobody buys them and seem to last forever on shelves but still,it's impressive.
>>51898917
have to reach for sunlight.
>>51898969
If no one buys them we wouldn't be the top 3 agricultural exporter in the world desu
>>51898969
They have municipalities which consist mostly of greenhouses.
>>51899132
Pretty much everything that isn't a village or city consists of farmland in most of our country. Farmland reaches from village to village and city to city.
>>51899052
probably some back-door slimy deals with big supermarket chains+heavy subsidies by the eu again slimy backdoor shit.You are known as seajews after all. Here people don't buy them yet they still put them on shelves,esp the tomatoes and bell peppers are creepy.
Still,impressive.
>>51899717
Get used to it, unless we rapidly change the way we treat food, the Dutch method is the only way we're going to be able to grow food for the ever increasing population of the world.
>>51898712
Did someone say "commieblocks"?
"live"

It's kinda hard to kick out someone who has been in Europe longer than any concept of Netherlands.
But by all means, kick out from the Soviet Union v2.

>>51902144
I don't think those are commieblocks, these are... Those are just some nice comfy apartment buildings.
>>51902230
People usually think "commieblocks" have shitty apartments, but they don't.
In fact, most of apartments here are spacious and well planned.
>>51895519
At least Americans have an identity.
What the flying fuck do you inbreed Chinks have?
>>51895510
Trentino has some identification with Austria, but besides that what you said is bullshit.
