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 Óttast að áætlanir ráðherra muni fækka leigubílstjórum Innlent Fundu Guð í App store Erlent Eiga eftir að ráða tólf starfsmenn svo hægt sé að opna allar deildir Innlent Segja áform ráðherra grafa undan þjónustu Innlent Sumarfríið allt of langt fyrir þau börn sem eingangra sig félagslega Innlent Skorast ekki undan ábyrgð vilji flokksmenn nýjan oddvita Innlent Nýburar fæðast í nikótínfráhvörfum Innlent Aðalsteinn volgur og Björg orðuð við oddvitann Innlent „Fólk hefur hætt eða nánast verið bolað úr starfi síðan hún tók við“ Innlent SUS gefur fundarmönnum bol í anda Charlies Kirk Innlent
