The Netherlands Geography Trip – Netherlands
The Netherlands: Water, Windmills and What Works
“The Netherlands is a brilliant case study for human geography, especially in water management, urban planning, and sustainable development. Students can explore how the Dutch have adapted to living below sea level through an advanced system of dikes, canals, and polders.
Cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam also highlight issues of land use, transport, and environmental resilience in densely populated lowland areas.“
Below Sea Level, Above Expectations
The Netherlands blends innovation with necessity. Students will walk dykes, cycle beside canals, and see how people live with — and against — water. It’s human and physical geography working side-by-side.
