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 Trump sendir þjóðvarðlið til Los Angeles Erlent Hætta með ökuskírteini í símaveski vegna Evrópureglna Innlent 70 milljóna króna halli vegna uppsagnar samningsins Innlent Danskur raunveruleikaþáttarkeppandi þurfti að skilja íslensku Erlent Hótar Musk alvarlegum afleiðingum styðji hann Demókrata Erlent Þrír reyndu að komast undan lögreglu Innlent Danskar herþotur verða staðsettar á Grænlandi Erlent Tók 12 ár að breyta reglum um bætur vegna seinkun flugferða Erlent Vísbendingar um að síðasta vígið sé fallið Innlent Sækja WorldPride í skugga bakslags í réttindum hinsegin fólks Innlent
