GESTUR ÓLAFSSON ; ndanfarna áratugi hefur Reykjavík breyst hratt í þaö aö veröa nútímaleg borg og jafnframt hefur einangrun hennar verið rofin í mörgum skilningi. í dag býöur þessi höfuðborg upp á mjög fjölbreytta mögu- V leika á mörgum sviðum sem ekki er aö finna nema í mun stærri borgum, hágæöa byggingar, þjónustu, atvinnulíf og menntun og auöveldan aögang aö frítíma- og útivistaraöstöðu fyrir alla í mengunar- lausu umhverfi. í framtíðarskipulagi borgarinnar er líka lögö áhersla á að Reykjavík veröi í vaxandi mæli alþjóöleg, fjölmenn- ingarleg og vistvæn borg, og skipi sér í röö fremstu borga hvar sem er í heiminum. Þetta eru aö vísu háleit markmið sem flestir geta verið sammála um aö stefna aö, en þau nást ekki án ákveðinnar viðleitni og almenns skilnings og stuönings. Þaö eru allir íbúar Reykjavíkur sem hugsanlega gera þessi markmiö aö veruleika. Reykjavík hefur hingað til aö sumu leyti veriö einangr- uö frá umheiminum og menningin nokkuð einsleit, stéttaskipting hefur ekki verið áberandi og tekju- og eignabil ekki verið mjög breitt. Allt þetta kann þó aö breytast og miklu skiptir að þaö verði í þá átt sem sátt getur orðið um. Þaö er eitt aö setja fram háleit markmiö í skipulagsáætlunum, en oft allt annað aö hrinda þeim í framkvæmd á friðsaman hátt. Ef viö viljum þaö í raun og veru þá verðum viö líka aö viröa ólíkar skoöanir og óskir mismunandi þjóöfélagshópa framtíöarinnar jafn- vel þótt þeir kunni aö leggja mismunandi mat á arfleifö okkar og menningu. Ef okkur tekst hins vegar aö móta framtíð okkar í friösamlegri samvinnu viö allt það ólíka fólk sem hugsanlega vill vinna aö framtíð borgarinnar ætti þaö aö geta komið öllum til góða. ■ The CAPITAL CITY During the last few decades, Reykjavík has rapidly become a modern city and its isolation has been bro- ken in many senses of the word. Today, this capital city offers very diverse opportunities in many areas not to be found except in much larger cities; high quality serv- ices, employment and education, interesting buildings, as well as easy access to freetime and outdoor activi- ties for everyone in a pollution-free environment. Future plans for the city emphasise Reykjavík as an increasingly international, multi-cultural and eco-friend- ly city at the forefront of modern international cities. Although most people agree these lofty goals should be aimed for, they cannot be reached without common understanding and effort, nor can they be achieved without the support of all the inhabitants of Reykjavík. Until now, Reykjavík has in some respects been iso- lated from the surrounding world and its culture can be perceived as somewhat one-sided. To the society’s benefit, class distinctions have not been obvious and differences in income and ownership have not been great. All this could change as Reykjavík’s society grows, and it is important that this change is in a direc- tion that people can agree upon. It is one thing to put forward high goals in planning documents, and quite another to realise them in an amicable way. If we real- ly want to see these policies through, then we must also respect the different attitudes and wishes of vari- ous social groups which will live here in the future, even if they value our traditions and culture differently. If we succeed in building our collective future in peaceful cooperation, the results will benefit everyone interested in contributing to Reykjavík’s future. ■ 7
