Last year on Saturdays you regularly heard special stories from the makers of Today about the lives and ideas that lie behind current events. This week you can listen to some of them again.

Today Naomi Steijger’s story, about the Red Light District in Amsterdam, which is on the eve of major changes.

The Red Light District: once a notorious harbor district, now overrun by tourism. Amsterdam wants to change the red light district by moving sex workers to an erotic center on the edge of the city. What does the city lose by this? What reality hides beneath the fake glaze of De Red Light District?
