| Opplysninger | The heterogeneity of Arctic cities / Torill Nyseth and Julia Christensen -- Reframing urban relocation in Kiruna, Sweden : an integrative ownership model for resident-led transformations / Benjamin DiNapoli -- Doing things differently : design research in partnership with Innu and Inuit communities in Northern Québec, Canada / Myriam Blais, Geneviève Vachon, and Élisa Gouin.. - "Design and the Built Environment of the Arctic is a concise introductory guide to the design and planning of the built environments in the Arctic region. As the global forces of change are becoming more pronounced in the Arctic, the future trajectories for living environments, city-making processes and their adaptive capacities need to be addressed directly. This book presents eleven new and original contributions from both leading and emerging scholars and practitioners, positioning the Arctic as a dynamic, diverse, and lived place at the nexus of unprecedented socio-environmental transformations. The volume offers key concepts for understanding and spatializing Arctic cities and landscapes; similarities and differences in the development of design and planning approaches responsive to specific climatic and cultural conditions; and historical and geographic case studies that provide unique perspectives for the management of the built environment, from the scales of a building and infrastructure to cities and territories. Altogether, the contributions expand regional Arctic design scholarship to understand how the variability of the Arctic context influences the designed urban, architecture, and landscape systems, and offer numerous lessons for design and other forms of spatial practice both within and beyond the Arctic. This is a unique resource for researchers, creative practitioners, policymakers, and community decision-makers, as well as for advanced undergraduate and graduate students"--
