Flevoland

Netherlands

Flevoland, a Dutch province reclaimed from the sea, shares 59 Bunkabop connections with 2314 other places across 13 topics. Government and urban planning form the dominant cluster, reflecting its origins: the Zuiderzee Works enclosed an inland sea after a 1916 flood, and post-war housing pressure from Amsterdam drove the creation of planned polder towns. Strong ties to Amsterdam, Germany, and Friesland run through topics spanning nature, transportation, and sports. Lelystad, one of those planned cities, now houses a National Centre for Maritime History.
