Housing
The City of Reykjavík's main objective in housing is the creation of a diversified and flexible housing market that guarantees an affordable roof for all, regardless of whether people need support with their housing or not.
Quarterly, information on the progress of the Housing Plan is published, and updates on where housing is being constructed and where future housing builds are planned are continuously refreshed in a housing development map view.
