The main beach resort <a href="/wiki/Scheveningen" title="Scheveningen">Scheveningen</a>, in the northwestern part of the city, is a popular destination for tourists as well as for inhabitants. With 10 million visitors a year, it is the most popular beach town in the <a href="/wiki/Benelux" title="Benelux">Benelux</a> area. <a href="/wiki/Kijkduin" class="mw-redirect" title="Kijkduin">Kijkduin</a>, in the southwest, is The Hague's other beach resort. It is significantly smaller and attracts mainly local residents. </p><p>The former Dutch colony of the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_Indies" title="Dutch East Indies">East Indies</a>, now <a href="/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a>, has left its mark on The Hague. Since the 19th century, high-level civil servants from the Dutch East Indies often spent long-term leave and vacations in The Hague. Many streets are named after places in the Netherlands East Indies (as well as other former Dutch colonies such as Suriname) and there is a sizable "<a href="/wiki/Indo_people" title="Indo people">Indo</a>" (i.e. mixed Dutch-Indonesian) community. Since the loss of these Dutch possessions in December 1949, "<a href="/wiki/Indo_people" title="Indo people">Indo people</a>" also known as "Indische people" often refer to The Hague as "the Widow of the Indies".<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The older parts of the town have many characteristically wide and long streets. Houses are generally low-rise (often not more than three floors). A large part of the southwestern city was planned by the progressive Dutch architect <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_Petrus_Berlage" class="mw-redirect" title="Hendrik Petrus Berlage">H.P. Berlage</a> about 1910. This 'Plan Berlage' decided the spacious and homely streets for several decades. In World War II, a large amount of the western portion of The Hague was destroyed by the Germans. Afterward, modernist architect <a href="/wiki/Willem_Marinus_Dudok" title="Willem Marinus Dudok">W.M. Dudok</a> planned its renewal, putting apartment blocks for the middle class in open park-like settings. </p><p>The layout of the city is more spacious than other Dutch cities and because of the incorporation of large and old nobility estates, the creation of various parks, and the use of green zones around natural streams, it is a much more green city than any other in the Netherlands. That is, excepting some medieval close-knitted streets in the centre. The Hague has a canal system around the old city center, which is mainly used for boat tours around the city. Most of the canals were drained in the late 19th century and some were filled between 1910 and 1970<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but many have been restored recently.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The time period mentioned near this tag is ambiguous.

Between 1800 and 1960, the city saw considerable growth from 40,000 in 1800 to 200,000 in 1900 and eventually 600,000 in 1960. The growth following 1900 was partially caused by the housing act of 1901, which stimulated the expansion of cities such as The Hague. In the period between 1960 and 1980, The Hague saw a shrinkage from 600,000 to 440,000 inhabitants, caused mostly by spatial policy, demographic processes, and lack of space. After several annexations and housing constructions, The Hague has since grown again, celebrating its 500,000th inhabitant in 2011. The municipality expects the growth to continue to just over 600,000 inhabitants by 2030.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The demonym of The Hague officially is <i>Hagenaar</i>, but the term <i>Hagenees</i> is informally used for someone who was born and raised in The Hague.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The usage of these demonyms appears to be class-bound, with Hagenaar being the upper-class term and Hagenees being that of the lower-class.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origin_make-up">Origin make-up</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Hague&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Origin make-up"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>43% of the population of The Hague has two parents that were born in the Netherlands, while 15.6% has at least one parent who was born abroad in a western country, and 34.4% has at least one parent that was born in a non-western country.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Inhabitants_by_birthplace">Inhabitants by birthplace</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Hague&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Inhabitants by birthplace"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>2020<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </th> <th>Numbers </th> <th>% </th></tr> <tr> <th>Both parents born in NL </th> <td>242,441 </td> <td>44.42% </td></tr> <tr> <th>Western migration background </th> <td>105,315 </td> <td>19.29% </td></tr> <tr> <th>Non-Western migration background </th> <td>198,082 </td> <td>36.29% </td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Suriname" title="Suriname">Suriname</a></i> </td> <td>45,783 </td> <td>8.39% </td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a></i> </td> <td>41,122 </td> <td>7.53% </td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Morocco" title="Morocco">Morocco</a></i> </td> <td>32,355 </td> <td>5.93% </td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a></i> </td> <td>17,187 </td> <td>3.15% </td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Netherlands_Antilles" title="Netherlands Antilles">Netherlands Antilles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aruba" title="Aruba">Aruba</a></i> </td> <td>14,037 </td> <td>2.57% </td></tr> <tr> <td>Total </td> <td>545,838 </td> <td>100% </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Religion">Religion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Hague&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Religion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Just under half of The Hague's population identifies with a religious group.

Hundreds of thousands of people gather in Scheveningen for the festivities, and the fishing boats are decorated specially for the occasion.

In Scheveningen, the first barrel of herring is traditionally sold at an auction on the Thursday preceding the official Vlaggetjesdag, and the proceeds go to charity. Vlaggetjesdag was made official in 1947, although the festive tradition around the beginning of herring season is much older: in the 18th century, the villages along the coast, including Scheveningen, were forbidden to gut the caught herring. Since herring was most appropriate for smoking around September, most fishing boats caught flatfish or round-bodied fish during part of the summer, to avoid a surplus of fresh herring.<sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In July or August, The Hague hosts a series of weekly firework displays by the sea front in <a href="/wiki/Scheveningen" title="Scheveningen">Scheveningen</a>, as part of an international fireworks festival and competition. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Tong_Tong_Fair" title="Tong Tong Fair">Tong Tong Fair</a>, formerly <i>Pasar Malam Besar</i>, is the largest festival in the world for <a href="/wiki/Indo_people" title="Indo people">Indo</a> culture.
