Problems and solutions from the past.

In the second half of the 19th century, The Hague's population grew explosively, from approximately 90,000 in 1850 to over 200,000 in 1900. Savvy real estate developers made a fortune, and people lived in tiny houses for exorbitant rents.

Does this sound familiar? Then come and listen to Raymund Schütz, who not only demonstrates that history repeats itself but also discusses solutions from the past.
