In order to research a suitable case study, one could consider longevity and size of a camp. Mae La, a Burmese refugee camp in Thailand (originated 25 years ago, estimated size of 50,000 inhabitants on 2km2) is an interesting site as there was no formal planning or material distribution: it grew from a bottom up initiative with locally available materials. In age and population size, however, it is comparable to Almere Buiten.
