The impact of climate change on human settlement and adaptation in the north

Abstract

The nature of the Arctic creates unique conditions in which, in order to adapt and develop new cities, a person needs to take into account the experience of previously created northern economic regions. The article considers the main natural factors affecting the construction and urbanization of cities, assesses the prospects for the development of settlements beyond the Arctic Circle and analyzes environmental factors affecting the creation of a network of cities with a population engaged in oil-producing activities on a permanent basis.
