Hengelo
Netherlands
City in the Twente region of eastern Overijssel, Hengelo earned the nickname "metaalstad" — metal city — through its history of machine factories, electrical engineering, and salt mining. Post-war reconstruction by notable Dutch planners introduced garden-city-inspired residential areas alongside a modernised centre. The city sits where several streams converge, giving it an early role as a crossroads and infrastructure hub, a function it still holds today near the German border.
