This chapter investigates the historic and contemporary production of northern Swedish Sápmi—the homeland of Fennoscandia’s Indigenous Sámi people—as an extractive resource frontier for materializing utopian state development visions. Based on archival research, anthropological fieldwork, and ethnographic interviews conducted in the industrial city of Kiruna (in north Sámi, Giron) between 2022 and 2023, I demonstrate how particular socio-spatial imaginaries have been integral to (re)producing Kiruna as a future resource frontier since the nineteenth century. I argue that because Sweden’s ‘green transition’ also involves re-developing northern cities to attract new residents/industrial workers—but does not address existing structures of inequality that have facilitated resource extraction in Sápmi—this agenda risks exacerbating social and environmental inequality and undermining sustainable development goals.
