From Tom Scott.

The Bolwoningen, in Den Bosch, in the Netherlands, are experimental architecture: the surprising part is that people still live there.

Local producer: Jasper Deelen

A lot of my history research for this video is based on the 2019 book "Experimentele Woningbouw in Nederland 1968-1980: 64 Gerealiseerde Woonbeloften", by Barzilay, Ferwerda and Blom: https://experimentelewoningbouw.nl/
