The Territories: Developments

[Architype]

Here's an article about Iqaluit; although it's over a year old, it's of particular interest to this forum.

"Iqaluit's not going to look like a village anymore. It's going to look like a city."

Awesome news I love the development going on in Iqaluit. It is so interesting to see a tundra hamlet turning into the worlds first full-fledged Inuit City

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.

This has been a parking lot for as long as I can remember. Right next to the Yellowknife inn.

It's a very exciting proposal. Hopefully it can help revitalize that street somewhat. It's probably the roughest part of downtown.

The Range was always worth a visit.

Certainly, but I don't think I'd want to live across the street from it.

Though the Gold Range Bistro on the other hand...
