Centralization policies put into motion a distinct rural-urban geography in Greenland, which in recent decades has become increasingly focused around urban centers, such as Ilulissat, Sisimiut, Nuuk, and
Qaqortoq. There is evidence to suggest a general demographic movement from smaller settlements (translates to nunaqarfik in Greenlandic, the place where nature is) to small towns, and finally to larger towns or cities (translates to illoqarfik in Greenlandic, the place where the houses are) such as Sisimiut (North Greenland),
Qaqortoq (South Greenland) and Nuuk (the capital in the middle of Greenland) (see Rasmussen, 2010).
