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 Ótrúlegur árekstur: „Ég sá bara dekk og púströr“ Innlent Fráfarandi starfsmaður Sólheima: „Eins og ég sé að sleppa frá einangruðu einræðisríki“ Innlent Vildi kynnast Kristjáni en var ítrekað sagt að „fokka sér“ Innlent Trump-liðar heita hefndum Erlent Nennti ekki að tala við „atvinnubetlara“ og sagði henni að fokka sér Innlent Reikna með gosi í lok mánaðar Innlent Yfirlæknir gagnrýnir auglýsingu gegn lyfi við RS-veiru Innlent Skýrt að Ísland sé ekki griðastaður stríðsglæpamanna Innlent Ríkið situr á þúsundum hektara af framræstu votlendi Innlent Vonar að fólk taki ekki mark á auglýsingum þar sem farið er með rangindi Innlent
