Almere Centrum Station Almere is a young city in the province of Flevoland, in 1975 the first plans were to build on the place where Almere is now, with almost 200.000 inhabitants! The IJsselmeerpolders (Flevoland) were actually intended exclusively for agriculture, but soon after the Second World War it was discovered that the growing population needed more space. In Amsterdam in particular, the need was great, this created the sketched city of 'Southwest City', which is now called Almere. The name Almere comes from the former lake Almere, which used to be at that location. Lelystad, also in the province of Flevoland, was created by the shortage of space for the growing population. | |||||||||||||
