30th April 2023 25 mins Season 5 Episode 19

We need houses and developers like to build them in meadows. There is a beautiful polder ready for you near Alphen aan de Rijn. But is this Gnephoek the best place for 10,000 new houses, in a deep polder with weak soil? The province and water boards warn: if you build here, society will incur high costs in the future. But the municipality and the government are persevering and want the houses to be built. What interests do they have in going against the advice? In addition to the housing shortage, land purchases appear to be one of the arguments.

Extra: De Vergeten Graven

After the Second World War, many synagogues and Jewish cemeteries were lost. Since 2020, Pointer has been conducting research into expropriated and resold Jewish real estate during the war and came across twenty transactions involving Jewish religious heritage. These buildings and cemeteries are rarely visible in the current street scene: synagogues have been demolished and cemeteries covered with asphalt. In some villages and towns, centuries of Jewish history are therefore barely visible. What role have municipalities played in this?
