Building capacity for sustainable places in the Circumpolar North - through an integrated local/global problem-solving perspective.
|
One of next year’s most relevant and challenging conferences on housing, city planning and regional development in the Circumpolar World is taking place in Alta, the Northern Lights City of Norway, March 5 - 7.
- The Borealis conference will focus on the special architecttural and technological, as well as cultural, environmental and economical challenges different places in the North are facing - small rural communities as well as middle range and bigger cities. Based on considerable knowledge we have accumulated in the different research areas, we are asking questions about how to develop more attractive and sustainable places in the North? It is not only a matter of natural environment and resources - our places also have to be socially sustainable. In other words, our communities have to be attractive enough to keep “northerners” from leaving and/or persuade “southerners” to move North. The fascinating Northern Light is not enough.
