1. Under NAWAPA, 6 new Hoover Dam style mega-dams will be required in the state of Alaska, two of which will be the biggest in the world — over 1,000 ft. After the construction of the Bering Strait bridge/tunnel, the new cities here and in western Canada will no longer be at the edge of civilization, as they will instead be along the only over-land route connecting the United States and Russia, and connecting Argentina by magnetically levitated rail to South Africa.

2. The Canadian north, developed under the NAWAPA program, will become another gateway into the Arctic. The port of Churchill, Manitoba will constitute one end of the Arctic Bridge shipping route, where the other end will be the port of Murmansk, in Russia.

3. By first renouncing all ties with the British Empire, Ireland can develop, both by becoming a major port city with the construction of a deepwater port in the Shannon Estuary, and by taking the lead in astrobiological science through deep-sea exploration. One of the new initiatives the LaRouche Irish Science Brigade is now investigating is the revival of the great Belfast shipyard by undertaking the building of nuclear powered icebreakers as part of the coming renaissance in the Arctic.

4. Russian Siberia, an area one and a half times the size of the United States, but with only 38 million people (including large cities on its eastern Pacific coast and western Ural mountain fringes), contains an estimated 16% of the world's minerals. Siberia, alone, contains 90% of the world's palladium, 80% of its tantalum, 40% of the platinum, and 36% of the nickel. The Eurasian Landbridge calls for the construction of multiple new cities in Russia's far east and Siberia, cities which will be connected to the Northern Sea Route and the Bering Strait bridge/tunnel by magnetically levitated rail.

5. A domed city named "Umka" is planned for the island of Kotelny on the Novosibirsk archipelago. The initial 5,000 residents of the city will be composed of scientists, engineers, and workers for local mines and oil platforms. These hostile conditions provide an excellent opportunity to develop and apply the technologies which will be needed to conquer the next frontiers for mankind, the Moon and Mars. In fact, the designs for the city are based on the International Space Station, with its own specially regulated temperate climate. The Arctic is truly mankind's "window to space."
