Renovation and Modernization
Approximately two thirds of the rented housing of Naalakkersuisut are more than 15 years old and have not been properly maintained.
In 1990, Inatsisartut (The Parliament of Greenland) endorsed a rehabilitation plan which will restore the dilapidated dwellings over a span of years.
