Very interesting! Great find. It was cool to see how a strongly planned city expands; new outer canal, new wall, new moat, tear down old wall, connect new outer canal with old one… It feels sort of counter-intuitive, I always imagine city growth to be very organic, but it obviously isn't always. This will be very useful when mapping that kind of city. Thanks for posting it, Blaidd!

(Anyone else feeling a need for an Assassin's Creed/The Sabouteur style game in 17th century Amsterdam now?)
