Tiel – Hoogeinde – Melina Berg (Germany)
Tiel has been battling water for centuries. Water brought prosperity through trade, but it also posed a constant threat. From dykes to pumping stations, the city continues to innovate to keep its feet dry. Melina shows how Tiel balances the opportunities and dangers of the water that has shaped the city.
