Government planning is evident here in Almere, one of the few places in the Netherlands where lots of new housing has been built in recent decades. The city is divided into tidy wijks, or districts, whose street names share whimsical, easy-to-remember themes. There is “Danswijk,” with streets named after the tango and the salsa. Mr. Ydema lives in Filmwijk (there is an “Empire Strikes Backstraat”).
