How sustainable are Russia’s Arctic Cities? How do they compare with other cities in the circumpolar north? Attendees of this virtual presentation will learn about recent efforts to measure the sustainability of Russia’s Arctic cities and how they compare to other urban locations in the far north. The talk will examine a variety of urban features including demographics, finances, governance, gender, health care, and solid waste management. We will take a look at everything that makes a city a city, including a dumpster dive into the dark underbelly of urban landfills.
