It is important that as many voices as possible are heard in the planning process, and that the wishes of those who are to bring the built environment to life with their presence are taken into account. In open workshops and discussions at Hafnarborg in March, the public will have the opportunity to discuss the planning authorities' priorities and to offer suggestions on what is being done well and what could be improved. In Sverrissal at Hafnarborg, a closer look will be taken at the top priorities in development and planning matters in the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and its surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p><b> We can all make a difference \u2013 grassroots listening<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Environmental and Planning Services of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, Hafnarborg and the Marketing Office of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are jointly organising the exhibition and open workshops, where the main construction projects and planning initiatives in the town centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and its surroundings will be presented.
