When you step out of the central train station in Amsterdam and encounter a sea of bicycles—and a three-story parking garage made for bikes instead of cars—it's easy to imagine that the city has always been bike-obsessed and that a typical North American city could never pull it off. A new photo series, showing certain intersections in Amsterdam around the turn of the 20th century, then in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally today, was created to prove otherwise. "The most beautiful places in Amsterdam—the places where all the tourists like to go, and all the Amsterdammers like to go to sit on patios, enjoy markets, relax—all of those places used to be used as parking lots," says Cornelia Dinca, founder of Sustainable Amsterdam, who started collecting the photos as a master's student at the University of Amsterdam. "This was really surprising to me."
