Caracteristici
Despite strong academic interest in 'global architectural history', there has been relatively little written about the polar regions. This book is the first to examine in-depth the hidden post-colonial history of architecture and urban planning in the Arctic
Notă biografică
Peter Hemmersam is Professor in Urban Design at the Institute of Urbanism and Landscape at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and he directs the Oslo Centre for Urban and Landscape Studies, Norway.

Recenzii
Hemmersam charts the unique motives and circumstances that have produced a distinct form of urbanism with comprehensive aplomb. The book provides urgent insight into the formation of Arctic cities and their trajectories from both a global polar view and from on the fragile ground in which they emerge.
The book will certainly be useful for the widest audience. First of all, those who are directly involved in the architecture and design of Arctic cities will find interesting material in it, there is a lot of interesting comparative material for them here ... Of course, the book is also useful for those who are interested in the Arctic from a cultural and political point of view. But the most amazing thing is that the book is useful for everyone who is engaged in urban studies anywhere and has never even had anything to do with the Arctic. The existential problems of Arctic cities, which the book makes you think about, allow you to think more deeply about the patterns of urban development in general.
In an increasingly relevant and global North, Peter Hemmersam brings a perspective of urbanism. Russia, Canada and Greenland of the last century offer Hemmersam ideas of relationships, and the historical and political frameworks that drive the built form. Hemmersam recognizes Indigenous communities and knowledge that provide a blueprint for thriving within the landscapes, which has been both embraced and ignored by settlers. With a sense of utility and in a place of extremes, we consider a new architecture and a new plan for imagining urban futures in the Arctic.
Within a context of accelerated climate change, Hemmersam's book brings much needed expertise to fill a void in scholarship that is long overdue for understanding the legacy and future of architecture and urban design in the incredibly important, complex, and rapidly changing Arctic region.
Making the Arctic City offers a compelling angle to enhance our understanding of the persistent colonial perceptions and imaginaries that have largely influenced Arctic urban development and city-building in all circumpolar regions, including the Barents region. Most circumpolar cities may have rather short histories, but the book is a crucial reminder that these cities are far from historyless.
As the Artic is made up of many Norths, Arctic urbanism is as diverse as urbanism elsewhere. By exploring these connections and dependencies, Making the Arctic City makes an important contribution to a more comprehensive and inclusive understanding of Arctic Cities.
To understand the mechanisms of Arctic urbanism, the publication Making the Arctic City by Peter Hemmersam is very recommended.
