There are also older maps and plans, photographs, reports and various other documents relating to the planning of Hafnarfjörður around the harbour. The workshop relates to the City of Hafnarfjörður's preparatory work for a new plan for the area around the marina, which is defined as a mix of a harbour area and a retail and service area. Residents and others will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the reports and other material used in the planning process, and to submit their ideas.
In conjunction with the workshop, there will be a varied programme of events aimed at fostering discussion and presenting the principles of planning. Walking tours of the town will be organised, and presentations and open meetings will be held.
