Abstract
The Siberian North plays an important role in Russia's domestic policy. Along with the beginning of industrial development, some of the established Siberian settlements turned into large resource-extracting bases. The key goal of all urban settlements in the North of Siberia remained unchanged — adaptation to the climatic conditions of the area and extraction of natural resources by all means available. One of the first regions of Siberia to undergo industrial changes was the Polar Region. Due to the difficult nature of the terrain and unfavorable climatic conditions, Soviet industrial and urban planning policy set itself the task of modernizing previously accumulated knowledge. The emerging large base city of non-ferrous metallurgy, Norilsk, has become a platform for new ideas in matters of urban development in the Far North. Despite the harsh natural and climatic conditions, the population developed the territory of Norilsk. A special urban space was created as a result. The presence of a large industry, a unique geographical location, as well as an active urban planning policy, formed among the townspeople their own attitude towards their place of residence, which was reflected in sources of fiction and publicist.
