The proposed project investigates how transnational cooperation among urban areas of remote regions can be enhanced to better harmonize sustainable development practices in such places. This will be achieved through a combination of theoretical and empirical analysis which include comparison of the decision-processes on sustainable development practices in seven selected cities located in the European Arctic.
The main research goals are to answer the questions of why approaches differ throughout the European Arctic and how Arctic urban development can be steered more effectively in alliance with local and global policies.
