Alkeet

Alkeet is a fictional town created for use in urban planning, geography education, and demonstration datasets.

In the imaginary Narion Archipelago region, Alkeet sits on a protected harbor along the southern coast. The terrain includes a low-lying shoreline, a central hill, and nearby wetlands that host migratory birds. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild, wet winters and cool summers.

The town is depicted with around 8,000 residents. The economy revolves around fishing and fish processing, small workshops, and services for residents and visitors. Tourism is concentrated in the harbor area, with a seawall promenade and a small marina.

Governance and infrastructure: Alkeet is depicted as a unitary municipality with a mayor and council. It has a harbor, a main street, a bus network, and a limited road ring; there is no rail connection in most scenarios.

History and usage: Alkeet first appeared in planning scenario libraries in the 1990s for studies on coastal development, flood risk, and climate adaptation. It is widely used in academic exercises to test land-use models, budget simulations, and environmental impact assessments.

In publications, Alkeet is treated as a representative small town rather than a real place, and details vary by study. It serves as a neutral reference point to illustrate common planning challenges.
