Thanks much Architype! |
It isn't the world's first Inuit city! We can't forget about our neighbours in the Inuit nation to our east, Greenland. The city of Nuuk has about 16,000 residents, Iqaluit will have some catching up to do! Interestingly, looking at maps it seems Iqaluit is already denser than Nuuk. I think this may have to do with the fact that the terrain of Iqaluit is much less suitable for the building of a city than Nuuk's. We will have to see how these facts play out in the future. It may lead to problems, but it might also lead to a very interesting urban form for Iqaluit.
