| Abstract: | The book "Making the Arctic City: The History and Future of Urbanism in the Circumpolar North" by Peter Hemmersam provides a comprehensive analysis of Arctic cities. The book focuses on the relationship between planning and design of urban spaces in the Arctic, examining the history and possible futures of these cities. It includes case studies of cities in Russia, Canada, and Greenland, such as Murmansk, Fermont, and Nuuk. The book also explores the impact of modernist planning and architecture on Arctic cities, as well as the challenges they face due to their remote locations and dependence on resource extraction. Overall, "Making the Arctic City" offers valuable insights into the unique complexities and transformations of Arctic urbanism. [Extracted from the article] |
