This thesis studies spatial visibility of Greenlanders in Aalborg by particularly looking and examining three most notable places associated with the Greenlandic community in the city as an indicator into socio-economic conditions of Greenlanders. To meet the aim, ten interviews with the Greenlandic representatives in Aalborg were carried out to find out their feelings and experiences towards these places. This thesis looks at spatial visibility in cities as an indicator into broader socio-economic issues. The results demonstrate how different groups of Greenlanders in Aalborg use urban space to uphold and practice activities that are characteristic to them. Finally, the results indicate that Greenlanders in Aalborg are still heavily subjected to stereotyping and racism which brings attention to the need of Danish government to redesign their integration policies.
