Urban Affair

One of the very interesting debates on the blog has evolved around the concept of re-using existing harbour constructions and buildings in the Myrargata development. Specifically the idea of creating an indoor Fruit-Vedg and Fish marked in the Alliance building creates images of new and dynamic life in the harbour. This can be incorporated into an already existing plan and possible be connected to other sheltered and indoor retail spaces along the harbour. Please have a look at the earlier discussions and take part!

The possibility of creating a unique and dynamic city exists. The developments must be debated to make an awareness of the already existing values and characteristics and to build upon, and to morph these into new visions, rather than to 'start from scratch'. The potential of Reykjavik is to crate an outstanding city, a vibrant place in the unique situation between the environment, the close connection to the nature and the hyper-modern metropolis. A place like nowhere else!

My stay in Reykjavík is coming to an end soon. I would like to thank everyone for the support, the interest, the mails and the discussions on and off the blog, held during the month of July. It has been very inspiring to me and hopefully to you as well. You can continue to comment on the blog, on the earlier discussions or create new. Please feel free to use this as inspiration, research or as a tool for communication and an opportunity to continue the debate on the future of the city.

I will follow the blog and keep commenting until at least October where I will be back in Reykjavik. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions.
