3. 'INTOLERABLE STRANGERS'听
听
Laurie Taylor continues his visit to Amsterdam. 听Despite a reputation for diversity and tolerance, some now claim that the very young, the elderly and those who have come to the Dutch capital as immigrants are no longer as welcome in the city as they once were.听
According to statistics, Amsterdam has the highest number of 'foreign听'听 residents of any Western European City, principally people of Moroccan, Turkish and Surinamese descent.听 Laurie Taylor finds out who is visible and who is not on the streets of Amsterdam .听听
First in the Surinamese suburb of Amsterdam Laurie Taylor meets Miss Rose and Marie, residents of Bijlmer housing estate and Aspha Bijnaar a graduate sociologist from the University of Amsterdam who stayed on the estate where she had moved to conduct her research on the informal saving and credit arrangement of the Surinamese 'Kasimoni ' scheme.听听
Dr. Lia Karsten Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam explains the consequences of a piece of town planning on the elderly and child population.听听
In Kolenkit, another suburb of Amsterdam with a large concentration of Turkish and Moroccan citizens, Laurie meets Dr. Manuel Aalbers a sociologist and urban planner.听听
Back in the centre, Laurie is joined by Paul Scheffer, cultural critic and public intellectual to talk about integration, whilst Professor Rinus Penninx Director of the Institute of Migration and Ethnic Studies at the University of Amsterdam, discusses the idea of a coherent Dutch national identity.听听
