Development in Reykjavík
The city's significant development and rapid growth require accessible and reliable information about development areas. This must be backed by reliable data that updates quickly, so everyone knows what's happening in each area at any time.
Development directly affects residents and their quality of life. It's crucial that the information is presented clearly while remaining detailed.
The project
Development in the city has been rapid in recent years. The city is densifying urban areas and strengthening public transportation at the same time. Residents have found it difficult to keep up, as an overview of projects has not been accessible. Planning for each plot has also changed.
To provide a better overview and increase access to information about development areas, the City decided to present information on a map. This allows people to monitor the status of each area in near real-time.
The project goals were:
- To present an overview of all development areas in Reykjavík in one place, with information on scope, plans, and progress.
- To link real data about development areas to the map, ensuring updates are natural, fast, and reliable.
- To make the status of each area clear to everyone at all times, showing the current situation and what's ahead.
What's on the map?
The map shows all development areas in the city.
You can view development by neighborhood and its current stage. Clicking on an area provides information about the project status, number of homes, developer, estimated completion date, and project designer.
You can view by different construction stages and by neighborhoods.
