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 Vill tollalaus viðskipti við Evrópu Erlent Wow fékk bestu þjónustu Airbus eftir að Icelandair valdi Boeing Viðskipti innlent Veitingahús vilji ekki bara ráða ófaglært starfsfólk Innlent Allt að 18 stiga hiti á morgun en súld og léttskýjað í dag Veður Reynst erfitt að laga tvígreiðsluvillu en gefast ekki upp Innlent Tveir unnu tæpar 80 milljónir hvor Innlent „Þetta verður ekki auðvelt“ Erlent Söfnuðu 140 milljónum fyrir Kvennaathvarfið Innlent Sektaður fyrir of stutt bil milli bíla Innlent Þúsund sinnum sterkara en morfín og erfitt að þekkja Innlent
