To summarise
In 2015, a call for planning proposals was held with the set goal of transforming the area from an industrial neighbourhood into a mixed-use settlement.
Based on the winning proposal, a strategic framework was established and then submitted to and confirmed by the city’s councils in early 2016.
Following the established framework a land area plan was confirmed for the extension of the Bryggjuhverfi area. Now proposals are under preliminary introduction for the areas up on the Ártúnshöfði plateau and down by the Elliðaárvogur riverside area.
