Making the Arctic City explores the unwritten history of
city-building in the Arctic over the last 100 years. Spanning
northern regions of North America, through Greenland, Svalbard to
Russia, this is the first book to provide a truly circumpolar
account of historical and contemporary architecture and urbanism in
the Arctic - and it shows how the Arctic city offers valuable
lessons for the post-colonial study of architectural and urban
planning history elsewhere. Examining architects' and planners'
designs for Arctic urban futures, it considers the impact of
20th-century models of urban design and planning in Arctic cities,
and reveals how contemporary architectural approaches continue to
this day to essentialize 'extreme' climate conditions and disregard
the agency of Arctic city-dwellers - a critical perspective that is
vital to the formulation of future design and planning practices in
the region.
