Rents are skyrocketing. It is almost impossible to buy a house with an average income. Young people are living longer with their parents. We are in the middle of a housing crisis. What went wrong and what can we learn from history?
Andere Tijden presents a new four-part series from Friday 3 to 24 February on NPO 2 in which Mariëlle Tweebeeke takes the viewer on a journey through time. In the second episode, Tweebeeke starts her search at one of those popular 1930s homes – a house with a story.
Episode 2 (Friday 10 February): The flight to the green

Hilversum is regarded as the ultimate Garden City, with the passionate architect and urban planner Willem Dudok as a pivotal figure. And the 1930s house, with its spacious rooms, stained glass windows and beautiful brick architecture, is characteristic of this type of city. How is it possible that such houses could be built in the 1930s, the crisis years?
