Box 1072, 3430 BB Nieuwegein, The Netherlands * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The capital of The Netherlands, Amsterdam, is home to more than 800,000 people. Devel- opments in water safety, water quality, and robust water infrastructure transitioned Amsterdam into an attractive, economically healthy, and safe city that scores highly in the field of water management. However, investments need to be continued to meet future challenges. Many other cities in the world have just started their transition to become water-wise. For those cities, it is important to assess current water management and governance practices, in order to set their priorities and to gain knowledge from the experiences of more advanced cities such as Amsterdam. We investigate how Amsterdam’s water management and governance developed historically and how these lessons can be used to further improve water management in Amsterdam and other cities. This retrospective analysis starts at 1672 and applies the City Blueprint Approach as a baseline water management assessment.

Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 28 May 2014, accepted: 2 November 2014 Abstract Since 2003 extensive archaeological research has been conducted in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, connected with the initial phase of the new underground system (Noord/Zuidlijn). Research has mainly focused on two locations, Damrak and Rokin, in the centre of Medieval Amsterdam. Both sites are situated around the (former) River Amstel, which is of vital importance for the origin and development of the city of Amsterdam. Information on the Holocene evolution of the river, however, is relatively sparse. This project has provided new evidence combining archaeological and geological data, and allowed the reconstruction of six consecutive landscape phases associated with the development of the River Amstel. The course of the present-day Amstel is the result of a complex interaction of processes that started with an early prehistoric tidal gully within the Wormer Member of the Naaldwijk Formation, including Late Neolithic (2400–2000 BC) occupation debris in its fill that was subsequently eroded.

  • Amsterdam Web.Indd
    17 km City cycle tour 10.5 miles This tour will show you many of the different faces of Amsterdam. Of course you’ll see its historic centre with the famous canals where dur- ing the 17th century rich merchants built their stately homes. Next you’ll cycle through the Jordaan district, which used to be a working-class area in the early 17th century. Nowa- days it’s a pleasant neighbourhood with narrow streets and many little shops and pubs, an area which is greatly favoured by youngsters and yuppies. In the Jordaan you may want to visit some almshouses, dat- ing right back to the 17th century. In the Plantage district you’ll find the splendid urban villa’s of the ear- ly 19th century. And in the Spaar- dammer neighbourhood you‘ll see some beautiful examples of wor- king class apartment-buildings, de- signed by architects of the Amster- dam School in the early years of the 20th century. This architectural style made use of rounded shapes and brick ornaments to decorate the buildings. The buildings in the Spaarndammer- buurt are among the most important examples of the Amsterdam School. Last but not least you may be surprised by very modern houses on the banks of the River IJ, built in the late 20th century. Not only old warehouses have been con- verted into modern apartments, brand new residential areas have been built there as well, designed with a variety of architecture. On many occasions you may observe how modern buildings fit very well within the existing architecture.

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction
    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.
