Maybe not...

Interesting.

The reason there are fewer ruins in the Netherlands compared to countries like England or Serbia can be attributed to several historical, geographical, and cultural factors:

Geography and Climate: The Netherlands has a relatively stable landscape, with fewer natural disasters like earthquakes or large-scale wars that would cause widespread destruction of buildings and structures. Additionally, its flat terrain and climate, with a focus on water management, have contributed to the preservation and maintenance of buildings rather than their abandonment.

History of Destruction and Reconstruction: The Netherlands has experienced fewer periods of widespread ruin compared to some other countries. While the Dutch have faced wars, such as the Eighty Years' War and World War II, they have also been known for their strong reconstruction efforts. After the devastation of World War II, the Dutch government actively rebuilt cities and towns, minimizing the long-term presence of ruins.

Urban Development and Preservation: In contrast to some European countries with a larger number of abandoned structures, the Dutch have a long tradition of valuing urban development and preservation. The country has focused on creating livable, functional spaces, often modernizing old buildings rather than allowing them to fall into ruin.

Historical Differences: Many of the ruins found in countries like England and Serbia are remnants of medieval or earlier periods. In the Netherlands, many historical structures from the medieval era were either repurposed, rebuilt, or destroyed by flooding, rather than left as ruins. The Dutch approach to land management, with an emphasis on maintaining and controlling water, also means that many ancient structures were often rebuilt or altered for practical purposes.

Population Density and Use of Space: The Netherlands has a very high population density and a strong emphasis on land use, which often leads to the preservation and adaptation of old buildings rather than abandoning them to decay. The tendency to repurpose and adapt structures for modern use contributes to a lack of significant ruins.

In contrast, countries like England and Serbia have a different historical trajectory, where natural disasters, wars, and the passage of time have led to more abandoned or ruined structures. Additionally, these countries may have had less emphasis on reconstruction or repurposing old buildings after major conflicts or changes in power.

Nope.
I'm not even sure why we don't have many ruins here.
But I'll ask ChatGPT

He will know

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 06:02
He will know

He did.
Impressive even.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 06:02

So what he said?

I repeat to my students all the time-dont mess with AI as it may surprise you big!!!

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 06:08
Wooooow impressive

Yeah indeed.

It's impressive and scary.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 07:19

Scary is the key word...

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 07:19
Yeah indeed.

As I told You it scares me...some times.

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 06:08
Wooooow impressive

Indeed it is.

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 07:34

It is.
Very.

It does. But so far I do like the answers it can give.
But sometimes it just creates a nonsense answer and avoids telling you why.

Thats nothing compares to a fact that IT can "think" and "decide".

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 08:08
It is.
Very.

Especialy the question of the ownership of "IT"?

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 08:04
Indeed it is.

Some times its all U can say...

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 08:44

So far we have not reached that stage, but it's going alarmingly fast.

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 08:53

Exactly one of the problems.

No

The biggest I think...

It is there, belive me.

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 11:53

Time will tell how big it will get, but I'm not holding my breath.

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 11:52

Yeah, I agree.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 13:00

Me neither...

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 13:18

So far I do like how easy it is to get 'good' information from it.

It is.
And there are many good applications, but....

Everything has its good and bad side...

I guess it does.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-1 23:27
I guess it does.

It is so...

Aleksandar Popovic8 Posted at 12-1 23:29

Let's choose the good.

I'm trying.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-2 05:18

Me too

I hope I do well.

The pull back into is the perfect intro. We have many ruins around the country but most are in protected no fly areas.

Thank You very muchSorry to hear about no fly...
