Amsterdam is a compact, walkable city located in the Netherlands with a highly planned urban form centered around canals. The city was originally founded as a fishing village along the Amstel River but expanded over centuries through deliberate planning and construction of concentric semi-circular canals to accommodate population growth and economic activity. The canal system served defensive, transportation and land reclamation purposes. Today, Amsterdam's historic canal belt and narrow street layout create an interesting environment well-suited for cycling and walking around the city.
