Colors of Almere-Stad - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle

Almere can be fairly called the youngest city in the Netherlands. Its construction began in 1976. It is also the largest, with 216,000 inhabitants, agglomeration of the Flevoland region, which is the seventh biggest in the country. The decision to build a new city was caused by the growing community of the Netherlands and an attempt to meet the needs of housing construction. New residential and public buildings, shops and schools, built on polder territories, were "restored" from the sea, drained and adapted for the building. The city plan was created in the studio, which was chosen on a competitive basis, as well as the best world architectures and designers were chosen for this goal. In October 2007, the city council concluded an agreement with the government to gradually settle the agglomeration.

The real estate here is cheap and the air is very clean. Local residents of Almere, in the majority, go to work in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Utrecht every day, but in the evening they walk with pleasure in ecologically clean neighborhoods of their native city, the economy of which is focused primarily on the industry of agriculture. The main motto of Almere and its residents sounds like "People are creating a city". This motto, in part, even pathetic, was not invented in vain: the project is prepared for a huge event - an exhibition of architectural art Floriade 2022. Almere will be presented there as a modern "garden city".

Floriade 2022 is the most anticipated event for all the residents of this cozy town. It passes once in 10 years in different Dutch cities but in 2022, the city of Almere will be its host. Floriade is a wonderful park in which Dutch gardening presents its latest trends and developments to the rest of the world.
