Have we Icelanders have shown sufficient respect for nature when it comes to building near risk areas? That it the sensitive question I will be answering today trough history and also by showing you a new neighbourhood in Hafnarfjörður that many believe to be a big mistake.
This is also an introduction to modern Icelandic building styles and overall the side of Iceland you won't see covered in the tourist brochures. So enjoy the trip but I have other videos in the pipeline that should give you a good idea of the capital's surroundings and what the coming generations should expect, and how we would help them to prepare.
