	Bijlmermeer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bijlmermeer (or colloquially Bijlmer) is one of the neighborhoods that form the Amsterdam Zuidoost borough (or "stadsdeel") of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
		Bijlmermeer was built for success, but it never attracted many middle class families.
		After a plane crashed into two Bijlmermeer buildings in 1992 (see Bijlmer disaster), it was decided that the neighbourhood needed some positive change.

	Schedule
		The ambitious plan for the project began in 1966 in response to the squalid housing condition in the older districts of the city.
		The Bijlmermeer was built according to the concept of the functional city drawn by the Swiss architect LeCorbusier: a city in which living, working and traffic as well as recreation are spatially set apart from each other.
		In June 1992, the municipality of Amsterdam, the City of the district of Zuidoost and the housing association signed an agreement for the renewal of Bijlmermeer with funds from the national government, the central fund for social housing and the European Commission.

		This report deals with the psychological impact of plane crashes on survivors, rescue, and relief workers, noting that airline crashes are unique disaster situations (like earthquakes) in that there are no warnings, and consequently, no preparatory phases.
		The article moves to a discussion of the three post-disaster phases; the immediate shock phase, the cry-out phase, and the post-trauma period - in the context of the Bijlmermeer crash.

	Archiprix 1998 \| There goes the neighbourhood
		The popularity of Bijlmermeer ('the Bijlmer') southeast of Amsterdam diminished even as it was being built.
		In Bijlmermeer there was no neighbourhood or even the feeling of one, hence it was 'politically incorrect'.
		An unintentional spin-off of this inability to identify with the neighbourhood is that the population, a mixed bunch to say the least, is still able to lead a fairly easy-going existence.

	Untitled Document
		The last garden suburb in this series was the Bijlmermeer, to the southeast of the city, in the early 1970s.
		Newcomers "camped" in the Bijlmermeer only to leave as fast as possible when they found something somewhere else.
		This is necessary to establish a more varied housing stock in the Bijlmermeer, and with it a more varied community.

	Untitled Document
		The last garden suburb to be built was Bijlmermeer, at the beginning of the 1970s.
		It was intended to house 13,000 inhabitants, starting all at once, but Bijlmermeer was difficult to fill because of the competition from other suburbs and high rent.
		The more recent neighborhoods differ greatly from Bijlmermeer in that they are primarily low rise and privately owned/rented units.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| The mystery of El-Al's chemical cargo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Although DMMP is, in view of its lethal applications, subject to stringent export controls by the US government (see box), John Swanciger, executive vice-president of Solkatronic, confirmed to journalists that his firm applied for and received the required Department of Commerce licences to export its deadly concoction to Israel.
		Swanciger added that this was the case not once, but twice: after the initial consignment was inadvertently scattered all over Bijlmermeer, and despite a subsequent tightening of American export regulations, Solkatronic was permitted to replenish the Jewish state's chemical arsenal with an identical second shipment.
		Among the immediate beneficiaries of the latest disclosures are the approximately 700 Bijlmermeer residents and emergency workers who continue to suffer from medical and psychological conditions not dissimilar to those experienced by soldiers and civilians after the 1991 Gulf War.

		Victims of the Bijlmermeer plane crash disaster had increases in symptoms similar to patients with Gulf War Syndrome and CFS and no evidence of somatoform disorder, anxiety or depression.
		Similar to patients with Gulf War Syndrome and CFS, a deregulation of the immune-competence through a combination of toxic material exposure and psychological stressors associated with increased opportunistic infections may be the most likely etiological hypothesis.
		Here we determined if mild to moderately severe fatigue in a group of aged subjects (mean age > 60 years), as defined by the validated Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), can be significantly improved by use of a glycophospholipid dietary supplement, NT Factor (NTF).

		At the train station for Bijlmermeer, in the fringe development area of Amsterdam known as Southeast, a landscape comes into view that seems very un-Dutch-a huge enclosed mall, a gleaming new sports stadium, and an oversized boulevard lined with big-box retail stores.
		How could this be, in a land with such a proud tradition of good design and even better planning; in a country that embraces compact development, density and mass transit; in a place where virtually no land is privately owned but rather is leased by the government and thus tightly controlled.
		It is home, on one side the rail line, to Bijlmermeer, the Le Corbusier-inspired high-rise slabs that have been a disaster since inception in the mid-1960s.

		The Bijlmermeer was an experiment in urban housing on a scale previously unseen in the Netherlands.
		Together with residents, the Bijlmermeer Renewal Project Bureau, an organisation established by the city of Amsterdam, the local council and the responsible housing association, put together a renewal plan.
		The Bijlmermeer was designed based on the CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne) vision of a planned city, a new – and untested – concept in urban design at the time.

		One of the finest and most well-known examples of a CIAM-planned area is the Bijlmermeer, located in the south-east extension of Amsterdam (The Netherlands), one of Europeâs leading examples of high-rise estates.
		The Bijlmermeer is renewing its own future and stands out as the leading example of Dutch renewal policy, not only because of the size of the operation, but primarily because of its integral approach.
		An impressive example of a successfully integrated approach is the renewal of Hoogvliet, a large-scale urban district in the south-western part of Rotterdam.
