Perhaps the greatest challenges facing community planners in Nunavut will come from the high expectations the residents have placed on their government. The short-term focus will be on ensuring on-going delivery of programs and services. In the long term, the task will be to meet the needs and expectations of a rapidly increasing and youthful population.

Les difficultés techniques et politiques auxquelles feront face au cours des cinq à dix prochaines années les responsables du territoire et de l'aménagement, ont été définies à l'issue de la réunion consultative de la communauté du Nunavut qui s'est tenue en novembre 1998. La plus grande difficulté pour les responsables de l'aménagement du territoire du Nunavut viendra peut-être des attentes élevées de la population face à leur gouvernement.
