A vibrant, modern city built on reclaimed land, showcasing innovative urban planning and rich history.
Lelystad, the capital of the province of Flevoland, is a unique city that emerged from the ambitious Zuiderzee Works project. Founded in the late 1960s, Lelystad is one of the youngest cities in the Netherlands, making its history not only brief but also fascinating. The city was named after Cornelis Lely, the visionary behind the reclamation of the Zuiderzee, and it stands as a testament to human ingenuity in transforming landscapes. The first residents moved in on September 28, 1967, and since then, Lelystad has grown into a thriving community with over 84,000 inhabitants. The city is characterized by its modern architecture, spacious parks, and waterways that reflect its origins as a polder.

The measured side of the city, each reading kept where it belongs so the figures come with their own methodology rather than a headline out of context.
