Okay, that\u2019s a long life, but contrary to what you may think, some people did actually live that long back then. Statistics which say life expectancy was around 30 years back then are skewed by child mortality as <a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/child-mortality\">1 in 3 children died as recently as 1800<\/a>. As life expectancy is calculated by adding all the years lived together and then dividing by the number of people, young deaths pulled down average life expectancy (a lot). But if you managed to survive the first five years, how long you could expect to live was much higher after that.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, back to the canals. When they were originally dug, they weren\u2019t just for transport but a few of them were for defence as well. You can still boat, bike or drive along the defensive moat, though nowadays it\u2019s in the middle of the city. Nor is it really the prettiest of the canals. Back then, however, it was quite something. On one side there were giant fortifications while on the other lay the wide open countryside. (Those fortifications were built to keep out the Spanish against who the Dutch fought an <a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/blog\/how-the-dutch-won-their-independence-in-1600\/\">80 year long independence war<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the city managed didn\u2019t expand much beyond that wall for most of its history. Only in the last two hundred years did it expand beyond, with most of the growth only occurring after the second world war.<\/p>\n<h2>There used to be a lot more canals<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>For a while, like most places, the Amsteram became enamored with the car. It was so bad that they started filling in canals to create more road access. There was even a plan by a local police commissioner in 1955 to fill in each and every canal in the city so the city\u2019s traffic problems would be solved \u2018once and for all\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The citizens of Amsterdam did not take kindly to his plan and protested loudly and often. Thankfully, the plan was shelved, which just goes to show how important it is for a city\u2019s citizens to be heard!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amsterdam has, by the way, found another way to deal with its traffic problem that didn\u2019t require filling in the waterways. They\u2019ve boosted public transport and bike access while purposefully making it harder to access the city center by car.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve also created park and ride spaces outside the city where you can park affordably and take public transport into the city while making parking in the city more expensive. Now, they are even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citylab.com\/transportation\/2019\/03\/amsterdam-cars-parking-spaces-bike-lanes-trees-green-left\/586108\/\">removing parking spaces to create areas for trees, bicycles and pedestrians<\/a>. All to make the city more cleaner, greener and more livable. Now that\u2019s a much better solution!<\/p>\n<h2>The canals are home to many people and animals alike<\/h2>\n<p>There are 3000 houseboats on the Dutch canals! What\u2019s more, <a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/blog\/what-animals-live-in-the-dutch-canals\/\">a lot of animals make their home in the water as well<\/a>. Along with birds and other animals, you\u2019ll find 20 different kinds of fish and shellfish in the waterways. You go nature! Of course, they\u2019re a little bit hard to see, as the water is rather murky. So, if you\u2019re interested to see them but don\u2019t consider yourself much of a fisherman, you can check them out at the Artis zoo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The reason there are so many animals in the waterways is because despite its appearance the water is quite clean. <a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/blog\/swim-in-amsterdam\/\">There are tons of places around the city where people go swimming regularly<\/a>. There\u2019s even a national swim event when people go swimming in the Dutch canals together to raise money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though, for the sake of full disclosure, it was cancelled last year because a freak weather event flooded the sewers and caused sewer water to run into the canals. As a result, e coli was found there. Yes that\u2019s the one associated with human waste. But then, in days of yore that was something that was true every day as the canals also served as the city\u2019s sewer and garbage dump. So, I guess that\u2019s already a vast improvement!<\/p>\n<h2>The Amsterdam Archipelago<\/h2>\n<p>You can look at Amsterdam as if it\u2019s one piece of land bisected by lots of canals or, if you tilt your head sideways and squint, you can look at it as a body of water dotted with lots of islands. In that case, the city has more than 90 islands within its limits connected by 1281 bridges.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting fact: most of those islands are sinking. Just like Venice, in fact (though it\u2019s not quite as drastic). The Dutch have known for a long time that the land they\u2019re building on isn\u2019t really stable enough, so to make sure the buildings stay upright, they\u2019ve driven huge posts into the ground and built on top of them. These pass through the soft layer and anchor the buildings in the layer below that. With varying success, it might be said, as quite a few of the buildings in Amsterdam lean this way and that.<\/p>\n<p>Do note, the forward lean that many of the buildings have is on purpose. It\u2019s supposed to keep the rain off the front of the building and makes them look taller, besides.<\/p>\n<h2>To create the modern canals the Dutch dammed a river<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s true! The Amstel used to flow through the center of town and actually passed through dam square. The river was dammed (hence the name of the square) and forced to flow through the adjacent canals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This was actually a very wise decision by the Dutch as this meant that the water in the canals was no longer just stagnating there and now moves. That meant the water (and everything thrown into it) didn\u2019t hang around in the city but instead went out to sea. Must have been great both for the smell and for the city\u2019s hygiene!<\/p>\n<p>This system is further augmented by a series of locks that the city uses to redirect the water down specific canals. Don\u2019t worry, this won\u2019t influence your tour, though, as this is something they only really do late at night. How considerate of them!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Check out our tours<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/tours\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGo to our Tours<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, the Amsterdam canals!
