Here’s a before-and-after-and-after of the Catharijnesingel by @fietsprofessor@bird.makeup (from X, which I won’t link to).

Now I understand! So the canal was covered up with a highway, water was just going beneath it (Edit: I read it appears to have been drained when the highway was constructed). Removing the highway just uncapped it again.

Cool comparison, but it’s worth pointing out that the second picture is taken from the bridge that you can see in the first picture. So those big buildings you see on the left in the first picture didn’t just disappear, they’re just moved out of the shot.

I don’t think the problem are the buildings but the car infrastructure.

That’s why I said it’s still a cool comparison. But cropping out the buildings and focusing more on the trees exaggerates the change a bit and makes it seem as if the entire area has been given back to the wilderness.
