6. 5. RECLAIMING KIRUNA : Ecological reclamation of post-exhaustion Kiruna mine

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

   Author : DIKSHA ANAND; [2020]
   Keywords : Reclamation; Kiruna; Post-exhaustion mine; Brownfield redevelopment; Landscape ecology; Restore; Revive; Regenerate; Bio-economy; Sustainable urban design;

   Abstract : In brownfield regeneration models, extraction sites are often left out of the question because of degradation, severe contamination, or economic viability and are usually abandoned, after the minimal remediations. These exhaustions not only impact the environment and economy in spatial relations but also influence the growth of the communities cultured by them. READ MORE
