Time to reflect

Cities are an immens laboratory of trial and error, failure and success, in building and city design. (Jane Jacobs)

City design in Reykjavík has suffered a big blow, but now there is time to rethink and plan again and turn the situation to the better.

Deyr fé deyja frændr deyr sjálfr it sama en orðstírrdeyr aldregihveim er sér góðan getr

Cattle die,kinsmen die,the self dies likewise;but the renownfor the one who gets good famedies never.

from 13th century poem: Havamal
