17th Century Canals of Amsterdam - UNESCO World Heritage Site
A tour of the UNESCO World Heritage 17th century canals of Amsterdam, south and west of the city between the Singel and the Singelgracht canal. This area isn't the old medieval city, it's the newer, expanded area of Amsterdam from the 17th century when the city was running out of space. And how else would you expect the Dutch to create more space - by draining a marsh, digging canals and making it beautiful of course!

17th Century Canal Ring Amsterdam, North Holland
Amsterdam Canal Cruise | City tours in Amsterdam | Capital of the Netherlands
The Amsterdam canal system is the result of conscious city planning.
In the early 17th century, when immigration was at a peak, a plan was developed that was based on four concentric half-circles of canals known as the Grachtengordel - three of the canals were mostly for residential development: the Herengracht (Canal of the lords), Keizersgracht (Emperor's Canal), and Prinsengracht (Prince's Canal).
The fourth and outermost canal is the Singelgracht,- a collective name for all canals in the outer ring.
View the decorated and colourful houseboats, the narrow houses along the canals and the bridges.

Fishing for bicycles in Amsterdam canals
(10 Mar 2011)
AP Television
Amsterdam, Netherlands - March 1st, 2011
1. Close of bicycle handlebars, tracking shot travelling along cycle lane
2. Tilt up bicycles chained to railings to reveal canal
3. Close of bicycle handlebars and rusting lamp
4. Mid of bridge with cyclist passing in front of sun
5. Wide of thousands of bicycles parked outside Central Station, cyclist parks bike
6. Mid of canal dredger hauling bicycles out of the water
7. Various of dredger hauling bicycles out of the water, then onto barge
8. SOUNDBITE: (Dutch) Arie de Beer, coordinator at Waternet, the Amsterdam Water Authority:
Amsterdam is a bicycle city, and a large part of those bicycles end up in the water of the canals. We fish between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles out of the water yearly. And behind me are some of those bicycles. They will be taken to the scrap yard
9. Wide of canal dredger hauling bicycles out of the water
10. SOUNDBITE: (Dutch) Arie de Beer, coordinator at Waternet, the Amsterdam Water Authority:
Yes, bicycle fishing is a peculiar story. Every year we fish up between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles. Yeah, where do they come from? Well - the owners won't throw them into the water so quickly, so we assume that either theft or vandalism is the reason for the bicycles to end up in the water.
11. Wide of dredger barge approaching barge filled with bicycles, attaching chain, dropping in wooden post
12. Wide of canal with barge approaching
LEAD IN:
Amsterdam's canals are famous the world over. There's not much in the way of fishing in the city waters, except for bicycles.
Each year as many as fifteen thousand discarded cycles have to be dredged from the canals.
STORYLINE:
Bicycles are the favourite way of getting around Amsterdam for locals and tourists alike.
The so-called Venice of the North is fiercely pro-cyclist has one of the biggest number of urban bike riders in Europe.
Everywhere you go bikes can be seen propping up lamp posts, tied to railings and lining the banks of the canals.
Cutting down the use of cars helps dispose of one environmental problem, but the bikes themselves create another.
With so many cyclists around, it's no wonder that riders sometimes forget where they left their bike.
Outside the city's Central Station the cycle parking area is enormous.
Many bikes get lost, stolen or simply forgotten about.
But most of the dead bikes end up here - in the canal.
Fishing them out is a year-round task for the the city, according to Arie de Beer, coordinator at Waternet, the Amsterdam Water Authority.

All sorts of things emerge from the murky waters, but mostly it's bikes.
It's a fishy story says Arie de Beer.
Yes, bicycle fishing is a peculiar story. Every year we fish up between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles. Yeah, where do they come from? Well - the owners won't throw them into the water so quickly, so we assume that either theft or vandalism is the reason for the bicycles to end up in the water.
Amsterdam's watery harvest ends up being turned into scrap metal. This is bicycle recycling, on an industrial scale.

Canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the Venice of the North.
Much of the Amsterdam canal system is the successful outcome of city planning. In the early part of the 17th century, with immigration rising, a comprehensive plan was put together, calling for four main, concentric half-circles of canals with their ends resting on the IJ Bay. Known as the grachtengordel, three of the canals are mostly for residential development (Herengracht or ‘’Patricians' Canal’’; Keizersgracht or ‘’Emperor's Canal’’; and Prinsengracht or ‘’Prince's Canal’’), and a fourth, outer canal, Singelgracht, for purposes of defense and water management. The plan also envisaged interconnecting canals along radii; a set of parallel canals in the Jordaan quarter (primarily for the transportation of goods, for example, beer); the conversion of an existing, inner perimeter canal (Singel) from a defensive purpose to residential and commercial development; and more than one hundred bridges. The defensive purpose of the Nassau/Stadhouderskade was served by moat and earthen dikes, with gates at transit points but otherwise no masonry superstructures.
Construction proceeded from west to east, across the breadth of the layout, like a gigantic windshield wiper as the historian Geert Mak calls it – not from the center outwards as a popular myth has it. Construction of the north-western sector was started in 1613 and was finished around 1625. After 1664, building in the southern sector was started, although slowly because of an economic depression. The eastern part of the concentric canal plan, covering the area between the Amstel river and the IJ Bay, was not implemented for a long time. In the following centuries, the land went mostly for park, the Botanical garden, old age homes, theaters and other public facilities – and for waterways without much plan. Several parts of the city and of the urban area are polders, recognisable by their postfix -meer meaning 'lake', such as Aalsmeer, Bijlmermeer, Haarlemmermeer, and Watergraafsmeer. The canals in Amsterdam are now used as a main form of transportation around the city.
Since the construction of the canals, there have been plans to connect the north of Amsterdam (Amsterdam-Noord) to the city center. In 1999, a plan was made to complete the existing canal circle in the North. Plans to gentrify this area are still under development, but the plan to complete the canals in the north has not yet been incorporated.
