Amsterdam is full, so the city has built a new town for 45,000 people. IJberg sits on seven islands, freshly made of sand.

At last weekend’s open day, 15,000 people - most of them seemingly pregnant, or carrying infants - admired the engineering and architecture, built sandcastles on the recently unloaded beach, and ate execrable hot dogs. It felt like a breeding farm for Hollanders, but at least it’s well-designed. If you’re feeling broody, check out: http://www.ijburg.nl/
