For an interest in planned cities, Almere offers a particularly clear starting point: its first house was completed in 1976. Almere Stad, Almere Haven and Almere Buiten are named parts of a city built on the Southern Flevoland Polder, linking urban development directly with the making of new land.
What to look for
Almere occupies land reclaimed from the IJsselmeer between 1959 and 1968.
The first house in Almere was completed in 1976.
