We visit the Arctic mining town of Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost town, to hear first hand the challenges of living in a place undergoing a massive urban transformation. In August, state-owned mining company LKAB announced that another 6,000 people in the old Kiruna will need to be relocated to the new town centre under construction, due to the ongoing operations of the world's largest underground iron ore mine.Presented by Dave Russell and Ulla Engberg.
