Policy

A child‑friendly city

We would like to see Reykjavik become an outstanding city for families. We need to provide a child‑friendly environment and equal opportunities for all children to develop their talents.

The housing problems that have accumulated in Reykjavik over many years need to be addressed. We need to embark on large‑scale housing development throughout the city, focusing on various types of housing for people of all ages.

Transport

The Independence Party wants to give people freedom and diverse transport options. One mode of transport must not exclude another – the future is freedom of choice and flexibility.

Sound finances
