þróunarsvið
Þróunarsvið is an Icelandic term that translates to "development area" or "development sector." It broadly refers to a section of a municipality or region designated for planned growth and expansion. These areas are typically earmarked for new housing, commercial enterprises, industrial facilities, or infrastructure projects. The designation of a þróunarsvið is a strategic planning decision by local authorities aimed at managing urban sprawl, fostering economic development, and improving the quality of life for residents.
The establishment of a þróunarsvið often involves detailed zoning regulations, land-use plans, and infrastructure development strategies.
