Quality of life communities
Description of the action and objectives
Green Deal action
In spring 2023, Reykjavík City advertised for partners and ideas related to quality of life communities, which focus on housing development for seniors. The goal is for these quality of life communities to be well-positioned within the city relative to development areas and transportation connections. Response to the advertisement was good, with 23 submissions received. Communication with these parties will continue. Some submissions included ideas related to the project, various organizations and institutions expressed interest in collaboration, and several proposals came from property owners wanting to develop their lots in line with quality of life community concepts.
