Geared towards architects, landscape architects, and urban planners, this book examines the local cultural, social, and environmental realities with a distinct spatial sensitivity, recognizing the diverse array of relationships that the built environment both supports and produces. By exploring Greenland as a complex and interconnected cultural and geographical space, Inventing Greenland reveals and anticipates transitional moments in the region's highly intertwined urbanized, militarized, and touristic landscapes.Regional planningGreenlandEcologyfastRegional planningfastSocial conditionsfastGreenlandSocial conditionsGreenlandEnvironmental conditionsGreenlandfastRegional planningEcologyRegional planningSocial conditions711/.4209982724.6De Jonghe Bert1672390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910817392903321Inventing Greenland4035701UNINA
