Changing Times


Changes in the fishing industry are forcing coastal communities close to Reykjavík to reassess their economic foundation. The changes in the workforce makeup in the town of Akranes, and the requirements businesses there have for commercial property are typical of the development seen elsewhere in Iceland. The project will seek to identify communities in the Faroe Islands and Northern Norway that are undergoing the same development and how buildings that were formerly used by the fishing industry can be repurposed.
