Umm no, there' land under Amterdam
It' jut that much of it is below sea level. They would need to design a pretty powerful dewatering system which would function inside semi impervious retaining walls. A permanent dewatering system would have to be incorporated into the construction deign. But actually it's not all that difficult.
