City island Veur-Lent is an important part of the Waalsprong in Nijmegen. As part of the urban expansion of Nijmegen, the intention is that around 7,000 homes will be built here. Stadseiland Veur-Lent won the international Waterfront Center Award 2011 in New York at the end of October 2011. Previously, cities such as New York and Sydney won. The jury praised the combination of flood risk management and area development and the way in which knowledge has been shared with river cities in other countries.

🌊💙The Spiegelwaal near the Veur Lent district🧭 is the result of a different way of looking at the flood problem. Instead of just raising or strengthening dikes, space for the river is now the starting point...
4 kilometer long branch of the Waal near Nijmegen🧭🌊💙

🌊💙On the east side of the Spiegelwaal there is a threshold, the Oudedijk.
It contains tunnels at different heights. As a result, depending on the water level, more or less water flows from the Waal into the tributary. So the Spiegelwaal is always fed by running water from the Waal.🌊💙
Built 2013-2015

flood protection
THIS is what the Dutch can do👏🏼 🇳🇱

In the middle of the city of Nijmegen there is the city island of Veur-Lent, where nature and people meet.
The island can be reached via Nijmegen's landmark, the Waalbrug, and is not yet that old. It was created in this century by the expansion of the Waal.
