A change in the Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan in 1958 meant that the polder was built up at a rapid pace in the 1960s.

Early 20th century buildings along the southern ring dike (Buikslotermeerdijk) disappeared without a trace, as did the older large farmsteads 'Boerelust', 'Herteveld' and 'Elsenhage' (located at the current sports park 'Elzenhagen').

Notably, the raised slopes of the A10 ring road and Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg divide the polder into four sections.

To the west and south of the Buikslotermeerplein are the districts of Loenermark (often called the 'banana flats') and the Plan van Gool.

The Research and Statistics department of the municipality of Amsterdam uses the combination 'Buikslotermeer' for its reports, which covers the entire polder.

A big portion of the polder is part of the Centrum Amsterdam Noord planning area, which provided new housing, schools, a library and theatre, expansion of the shopping mall and the construction of subway station North at the North-South line at the traffic median of the Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg.Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at nl:Buikslotermeer; see its history for attribution.
