Netherlands

The Netherlands resettled boat people from the late 1970s, distributing families across municipalities rather than allowing a single center to form. The community grew through family reunification and remains dispersed across the Randstad cities, which is why it has no equivalent of the 13th arrondissement or Kingsland Road.
