The Environment and Planning Council of Reykjavík City has voted in favor of naming a newly proposed street in the Kringlureit area as Mjóamýri, which is a nod to the historical significance of the location that once hosted the western holes of Reykjavík's first golf course. The decision came during a council meeting where the importance of preserving historical references in urban development was emphasized. The street will eventually stretch into another construction phase planned for later.

Construction work in the area is already underway, including the demolition of the old Morgunblaðið building that currently occupies part of the site. This development is part of a larger urban renewal effort that will see the establishment of approximately 420 new residential units in the first phase over the next five to seven years. The integration of historical references in the naming of new streets reflects an ongoing trend in Reykjavík's urban planning aimed at connecting the city's modern development with its rich history.

As Reykjavík continues to grow and modernize, the decision to name the street after Mjóamýri reinforces the city’s commitment to honoring its heritage while making room for new infrastructure. The development signifies a blend of historical recognition with contemporary urban needs, ensuring that as new neighborhoods are born, the stories of the past are not forgotten.
