In the Dutch Flardingen, they are preparing to open a whole town for refugees - almost four hundred houses, a hospital and a school. This is the country's first high-speed construction project, TSN says.

Giant construction site in Flardingen near Rotterdam. The Mriya is being built here - this is how the future settlement in the center of the Netherlands was called. "The town is a real Ukrainian town, a Ukrainian environment," says one of Lana's future settlers

Together with her, a thousand Ukrainians will live here - they now live in overcrowded shelters for refugees. "We are a pilot project that should show whether it is possible to build a full-fledged district in less than a year. Because usually in the Netherlands it takes 7-8 years," says Deputy Mayor of Flardingen Ivanna Somers-Gardenier.

387 houses, kindergarten and school, hospital and sports club. "Two months ago it was just land. We build very fast. First, we make a foundation with all the wires and pipes, and then the truck brings the house and we put it directly on these prepared lines. Like a puzzle, or Tetris," says project manager John.

Future houses leave the local factory one by one. In a few minutes, the first floor rises into the air. While communications are strung on it, the crane raises the second floor with a roof. Builders fasten two parts and fix the foundation. The speed is impressive - in a day one brigade can build a whole quarter. Inside everything is ready except "cosmetics": there is light and even equipment. "It's all done in the factory, like houses made of legos, two parts on top of each other - and you have a full-fledged house. I think this is the future," the workers say.

How much the project will cost the Dutch budget, officials do not admit. They only say that for the overpopulated Netherlands and for Ukraine torn by Russian bombs, this could be a quick solution to the housing problem. They will populate the Dream gradually.

Single studios on both sides of the wide corridor. At the entrance checklist is whether everything is inside - a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stove, a bed, a table, a TV and, perhaps, most importantly for those who have lived in rooms for ten for the last year and a half. "Most of all, people are happy to have their own toilet and shower," IDPs convince.

All this fit on twenty square meters. "We can't give people a home. We understand that their home is in Ukraine. But we can provide them with housing while they are here," local officials said.

The dream will exist for three years, and then there will be a business park again. But houses will not be thrown away, they will be given to neighboring cities, where affordable housing is most lacking.
