Willem Dudok was responsible for the structure plan for Greater The Hague in 1949/1950. He based this on 4 residential areas: Morgenstond, Bouwlust, Berestein and Vrederust. The plan for Beresteinlaan was reduced in size, which meant that Lozerlaan was located less to the west than originally thought. The Beresteinlaan was also not extended to Loosduinen, but stopped at the Meppelweg. This canceled Dudok's plan. The remaining part of Berestein has been added to Bouwlust. Bouwlust was designed by F. van der Sluys in 1952. The design is based on a rectangle in which the visitor streets divide the district into 9 smaller districts.
Construction of the project started with the streets in 1953. Due to criticism of Morgenstond because it was a monotonous design, the municipality gave the development of the project to a working group of architects. A housing density of more than 50 homes per hectare was a strict requirement set by the municipality. The different designs in terms of structure and architecture distinguish the neighborhoods from each other.
The first homes were completed in Bouwlust in 1956. In 1960, 70% of all homes had been built. The last houses were built in 1967.
Due to the merger of Berestein and Bouwlust, it has a confusing and elongated center. This extends from the De Stede shopping center to the Beresteinlaan shopping center. There are also local shops on squares in the middle of the neighborhoods. A railway and a motorway were once supposed to be built between Morgenstond and Bouwlust, but this never happened and the area was filled with sports fields and vegetable gardens.

The Uithof
The Uithofspolder was divided into two parts in 1661: the northern part was redesigned as the Zwarte Polder and the south was redesigned as the Uithofspolder. The Uithofslaan probably already existed in the Middle Ages. Until the Second World War, landscaping companies were located on this avenue, after the Second World War many of these companies continued as greenhouse horticulture.
Once again, Dudok had a plan for a neighborhood for this. However, this construction was not continued. Four large apartment buildings, each with 16 floors, were built on Lozerlaan. With new plans in 1972, approximately ¾ of the Uithof was used as a recreational area. For this reason, hills have been built, ponds dug and public gardens placed. However, part of the area has been preserved as a polder landscape.
