Klaksvik City Centre aims to become a model of design that is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable; a place synonymous with modern ideals for living, working, being. The inter-connected city enhances the close relationship between the actors within. With its unique waterfront, green traffic systems and an emphasized accessibility which re-connects the two banks of the town, Klaksvik City Centre puts forth a friendly and environmentally sound place to work and live. It is ready to answer to the new ambitions of the town, while maintaining strong traditions.

Composed of a diversity of programs and large spaces open to the sea, the new City Centre is an ambassador for the development of the Faroe Islands. With a dense and controlled scale of intervention, based on a strong network, each part of the town will now be interconnected through ecofriendly methods of moving, thus providing a green means of living to all inhabitants. As a symbol of the new sustainable city, the New City Centre brings huge potential to develop a strong image, easily identifiable and promotable as the new centre of the Faroe Islands.

The Klaksvik City Centre will allow a high level of standards in terms of sustainability and offer the best surroundings in which to develop an ideal place to work and live in full respect to nature.
