Planning and Urban Design for Attractive Arctic Cities

Autor David Chapman, Kristina L Nilsson, Jennie Sjöholm
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2024
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 the Arctic. Emphasis is placed on the importance of urban design, microclimate, cultural heritage, and movement and transport. The objective is to provide an overview for students and practitioners of architecture, urban design and town planning, of 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.

Recenzii

"As climate moves ever higher in our collective consciousness, this welcome book takes climate as its starting point and the need for climate sensitive planning and design as its goal. In doing so it systematically looks across scales of impact and intervention to offer a long-overdue and in-depth examination of the Arctic context."
Matthew Carmona, Professor of Planning and Urban Design, The Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, UK
"This book is highly relevant for understanding the regional planning of Arctic cities, and how the challenges of urban planning are different from those of more densely populated regions. The book will be useful as a learning resource in all Arctic Higher Education institutions and regional planning and development offices, and should find its place on the desks of Arctic Mayors and Chairs of City Councils, who take important decisions about the planning of our cities. Far too often, northern residents end up living in an urban environment that primarily serves an economic purpose: tourism, mining, industry. This book is a great resource in planning a liveable Arctic city."
Outi Snellman, Secretary General, UArctic (University of the Arctic), Finland
"This up-to-date and wide-ranging educational book with useful learning points demonstrates, beyond doubt, the need for updated policy, planning, and urban design strategies for a region with a rapidly changing climate and demography. This book is an essential read for students and others engaged in the planning and design of cities in the North."
Peter Hemmersam, Professor of Urban Design, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Norway
