Nuuk is growing rapidly. Soon 20.000 people, more than a third of Greenland’s population, will be living in the capital. Housing is scarce and expensive. Nuuk is home to a shopping mall, Thai restaurants and start-ups. The old properties of the Danish colonial era stand alongside new building complexes that house the Greenlandic administration and parliament. Nuuk is home to the campus of Greenland’s only university and one of the many state fish factories of ‘Royal Greenland’. Many creative artists also live here and showcase their work in theatres, cinemas, galleries, museums and concert venues.
