Arctic Urban Planning refers to the specialized field of urban development and management focused on the unique challenges and opportunities present in the Arctic region. It involves designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure, housing, and public spaces in areas characterized by extreme climatic conditions, limited accessibility, and distinct cultural needs. Key considerations in Arctic Urban Planning include environmental sustainability, adaptation to climate change, respect for Indigenous rights and traditions, preservation of local ecosystems, and ensuring resilience against natural hazards. Planners in this field must also address socio-economic factors, such as population dynamics, resource management, and the integration of technology to support communities in remote and often sparsely populated areas. Overall, Arctic Urban Planning aims to create livable, sustainable, and culturally appropriate urban environments in the challenging Arctic context.
