. Magazine issue #02 Italy OUT! Location | Nuuk, Sermersooq, Greenland . Nuuk, the capital of Greenland is the largest city on Greenland with 18.000 inhabitants. One article written by 'The Guardian' claims the city to be perhaps the most indigenous city: "One city... stands out. Nuuk... has probably the highest percentage of aboriginal people of any city: almost 90% of Greenland’s population of 58,000 is Inuit, and least eight in 10 live in urban settlements. Nuuk also celebrates Inuit culture and history to an extent that is unprecedented in many cities with higher total aboriginal populations. By proportion and by cultural authority and impact, it may well be tiny Nuuk that is the most indigenous city in the world." . #nuuk #sermersooq #greenland #grønland #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #architecture #cityplanning #landscapearchitecture #urbanpatterns #aerial #aerialview #drone #geometry #city #도시 #도시계획 #누크 #그린란드 #godthåb #houses #urbanism #indigenous (at Nuuk, Greenland)
