The winter of 2015, avalanches happens without notice and any alarm in advance. Residents life is posed under risks.

Avalanches often follows almost the same path from year to year.

Especially in recent year it happens more frequently.

In spite of the decreasing of long history of mining industrial, scientific research and tourism is increasing.

During the summer time the airport and the city is experiences a very high traffic peak.

(21)

A rel o ca t i o n p l a n o f t h e r i s k communities to the airport is triggered, a relatively safe area in the extreme Arctic climate. It's not only considering the demand of futher airport capacity and the safety of risk resident. It also an opportunity to experiment the development of an Arictic city.

Configuration

Selected norwegian airports analysis

Airport cities often combines different types configutations response to the demand of use.

More condensed area near the terminl while more loose in the other side of the runway.

The topotype urbanism structure also can be seen: grid / linear / Radiate / Cluster and so on.
