Neighborhood plans
Every established neighborhood in the city will get a specific neighborhood plan which outlines policies for housing changes, population growth, transportation, green spaces, and the enhancement of commerce and services in the neighborhoods.
Neighborhood plans are land-use plans for established neighborhoods that aim to foster sustainable, environmentally friendly neighborhood growth in response to evolving priorities. Making changes to their homes or lots will become simpler for residents with the introduction of neighborhood plans.

My property
Hverfisskipulag heimilar víða viðbyggingar og breytingar á íbúðarhúsum. Einnig er á mörgum stöðum heimilt að búa til aukaíbúð innan núverandi íbúðar eða í bílskúr. Þannig verður auðveldara fyrir íbúa að gera breytingar á sínum eignum og dýrar og tímafrekar grenndarkynningar og deiliskipulagsbreytingar að mestu óþarfar.
Til að sjá hvaða breytingar þú mátt gera þarft þú að skoða hvaða skilmálar gilda fyrir þína eign í hverfisskipulagi.
Green initiatives
Í hverfisskipulagi er lögð áhersla á að vernda gróður og styrkja opin svæði í hverfunum. Hverfisgarðar, leiksvæði og kyrrlát svæði eru skilgreind í öllum hverfum til að hvetja til útivistar og bættrar lýðheilsu. Einnig er hugað að flokkun á sorpi og reynt að draga úr hljóð- og loftmengun innan íbúðarbyggðar.
Góð almenningsrými styrkja hverfisvitund og styðja við vistvæna ferðamáta.
Instructions
With the neighborhood plan, there are guidelines that detail the provisions of the neighborhood plan and provide various useful information. These guidelines discuss a wide range of issues like additions, roof alterations, balconies, enclosing balconies, and other modifications to buildings, layout of lots, urban farming, and much more.
The neighborhood plan guidelines are an innovation in Icelandic planning matters and are included with all the neighborhood planning programs of the City. They are based on the policy framework of Reykjavík's Municipal Plan.
My neighborhood
Borgin er í stöðugri þróun. Markmið hverfisskipulags er að gróin hverfi fái að þroskast og þróast svo þau geti tekist á við breyttar áherslur en um leið viðhaldið sérkennum sínum og karakter.
Þannig er hægt að horfa til framtíðar en standa vörð um hverfisandann - hjartsláttinn í hverju hverfi.
Eco-friendly transportation
Mikil áhersla er lögð á að bæta aðstæður fyrir vistvænar samgöngur í hverfisskipulagi og draga úr ónæði af akandi umferð. Aukin notkun vistvænna ferðamáta helst í hendur við markmið um sjálfbær hverfi með aukinni verslun og þjónustu í blandaðri og þéttri byggð.
Neighborhood planning consultation process
The consultation process for developing a new neighborhood plan is fundamentally divided into six steps, following the planning process from the initial idea search to the approved plan.
