CREATION OF POLDERS
Polders are created by a dyke being placed around a section of land that wants to be drained. Once this dyke is placed you start draining the water from the sectioned off land. Once it’s drained you start planting reeds to strengthen the soil and then different crop until the soil is strong enough to be able to build houses.

THE POLDERS OF HOLLAND
The four polders of Holland are North East Polder, Eastern Flevoland, Southern Flevoland and the Wieringmeer Polder.

THE USES OF POLDERS
These Polders are used for settlements as there is to little housing in Holland for their huge population and for agricultural reasons as they had to little food supply. To this day they are the second biggest exporters of food.

SETTLEMENT PLANS
On the Polders there is a specific housing pattern, this pattern is radial or nucleated this means that all the road in these Polders lead to the centre town or city of each Polder.
