New Mobilities and Social Changes in Russia’s Arctic Regions [New Book]

  • September 15, 2016
  • Marlene Laruelle

(Routledge) The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in the history of mankind, and the circumpolar regions are not exempt from this global process. This evolution is linked to the development of industrial activities, as well as to the rise of services, public administration, and tourism. While this trend affects all circumpolar countries, it impacts Russia the most. Russia has built a unique urban fabric in the Arctic, with half a dozen cities of between 100,000 and 300,000 inhabitants. Because of their combination of historic, demographic, and economic features, Russian Arctic cities offer a distinctive field to observe and understand issues related to circumpolar urbanization.

This book provides the first in-depth, multidisciplinary study of re-urbanization in Russia's Arctic regions, with a specific focus on new mobility patterns, and the resulting birth of new urban Arctic identities in which newcomers and labor migrants form a rising part. It is an invaluable reference for all those interested in current trends in circumpolar regions, showing how the arctic is becoming more diverse culturally, but also more integrated into globalized trends in terms of economic development, urban sustainability, and migration.
