Planning and urban design for attractive Arctic cities
Author: David Chapman, Kristina L. Nilsson, Jennie Sjöholm
Year: 2025
ISBN: 9781032372716
Abstract: "This book takes a deep dive into the design and planning, and unique challenges of settlements in the European Arctic. Attractive Arctic Cities require job opportunities, good societal and commercial services, and importantly, high-quality built environments in order to thrive. The cities of the European Arctic are generally small and sit in sparsely populated regions, with large travel times between places, making them uniquely challenging from a planning and design perspective. The chapters detail the planning process and place-shaping in Arctic. Emphasis is placed on the importance of urban design, micro-climate, cultural heritage and movement & transport. The objective is to provide an overarching book for students and practitioners of architecture, urban design and town planning on the design and planning of Arctic settlements in the European Arctic (Finland, Norway, Sweden) as well as in North America, Canada, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, and China"-- Provided by publisher.
The mediated Arctic : poetics and politics of contemporary circumpolar geographies
Author: edited by Johannes Riquet
Year: 2024
ISBN: 9781526174017
Abstract: "The mediated Arctic analyses the multiple relations between geography and cultural production that have long shaped--and are currently transforming--the circumpolar world. It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticise various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney's Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos, and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analysed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity"-- Provided by publisher.

Designed and structured to incorporate multi-dimensional climate change research, the book is a significant contribution to understand among other issues, the role of persistent organic pollutants and mercury, as well as the increase of carbon monoxide during ozone reduction in the Arctic. It is an important work for researchers, students, and all interested professionals"-- Provided by publisher.
