Straight canals

The map
Drachten Map Poster & Print
Drachten is the largest town in Smallingerland, in the Dutch province of Friesland. It grew from villages along canals dug to transport peat, and those straight waterways still structure the map. After the Second World War the town expanded rapidly as a planned industrial centre, with neighbourhoods laid out around green spaces and water.
Drachten is well known for its long-established Philips factory and for its experiments with shared space, a traffic concept developed by the engineer Hans Monderman, who removed signs and traffic lights from several intersections. From above, the centre is compact, while residential districts form a series of carefully planned units with curving streets, ponds and canals.
A Drachten map poster shows how waterways and planning shaped a modern Frisian town: long straight canals, rounded residential quarters and the open landscape of lakes and meadows around the edges. The result is a structured, calm print that suits anyone who knows Friesland or appreciates the clarity of Dutch town planning.
