Planned Development Causes Controversy 23. júní 2006 11:02 The Independence Party of Reykjavík city council has proposed building a development of a residential community on the island of Geldinganes, just north of Reykjavík peninsula. Construction could begin as early as 2007. The city council minority has harshly criticised the decision. Svandís Svavarsdóttir, representing the Leftist-Green Party, told Vísir, "This is focussing a population increase on out-lying areas, rather than focussing on increasing density, and we wonder whether or not this is the right step to take." Dagur B. Eggertsson, of the Social Democrats, told reporters that it was odd to begin work on building up a peripheral area such as Geldinanes before construction of apartment buildings on downtown's Sundarbraut had been completed. Hanna Birna Kristjánsdóttir, chairperson of the city council planning committee, responded by saying that it was natural to have several projects in several different areas continuing at once. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Prestur á Dalvík sver af sér kjaftasögur um ókristilega hegðun Innlent Gekk berserksgang og beraði sig Innlent Stjórnarformaður RÚV vill að Ísrael verði tafarlaust vikið úr Eurovision Innlent Sótti kindabyssu eftir hótun um að skjóta fyrrverandi og fimm aðra Innlent Kurr innan Samfylkingarinnar vegna brottvísunar ungbarna Innlent Fjögurra manna fjölskylda meðal látinna Erlent „Af hverju ertu svona í framan?“ Innlent Sendir þjóðvarðliðið til Chicago Erlent Leikskólamál, afnám hafta og Trump-isminn Innlent Var að streyma á TikTok þegar hann féll til jarðar og lést Erlent
