Powerful Welfare

Proud Reykjavík

We put children first

  • By creating 1500 new preschool spots
  • and increase funding for the maintenance and development of preschool facilities to 30 billion over the term.
  • By making preschool access a legal right
  • After paternal leave, as has been done in other nordic countries – with governmental agreements on funding.
  • By supporting people with children
  • Preventing a double preschool system and “child tax” on families.
  • By investing in the future
  • With additional support in primary school and an emphasis on Icelandic as a second language for children with foreign backgrounds.

We Will Roll out the Red Carpet 

  • By making the administration work
  • Simplifying licensing for the operation and construction of housing.
  • By making the life of business owner easier
  • ensuring they have one contact to the city administration.
  • By building on trust
  • So the entrepreneurs and businesses can hit the ground running – but can receive guidance if necessary.

Full steam ahead on transportation

  • By improving traffic flow
  • Start constructions of the Transportation Agreement in its entirety
  • With ambitious development of the City Line
  • No more committees and delays
  • By continuing developments of tunnels and cycling paths
  • With an emphasis on connection city districts even better

We Will Cultivate our Neighborhoods

  • By supporting outdoor activities in our local communities
  • Finishing development of a Ski area in Breiðholt and a new golf course design
  • By taking care of the uniqueness of the city
  • Longer opening hours in swimming pools and construction of sports facilities in neighborhoods
  • By breathing life into the neighborhoods
  • Make it easier for entrepreneurs to open up a business
I want to lead change in Reykjavík. With Social Democratic values. So the system can work for the people, and to strengthen what we have together.
