Kiruna

The arctic iron race displaces this Swedish town.
Majority of the 23,000 residents back relocation to allow for expansion of mining.
The municipality is due to move into a new town hall in late 2016 and hopes to have one hotel, some restaurants and at least 100 apartments established by 2017.

Located above the Arctic Circle, Kirunans are used to 20 winter days during which the sun never rises. In the summer, the sun does not set for about 50 days.
