An open competition to design a new urban quarter in Iceland will prioritize sustainable transportation in a region that's proactively transitioning out of car dependency - and it could serve as a model for how to fill similar holes in growing U.S. communities.In January, officials in the city of Reykjavik announced a contest to create a "dense, mixed, diverse and carbon neutral new urban quarter" in the Keldur region, a still-undeveloped 288 acre (roughly a 0.45 square mile) stretch of the capital city about a 30-minute bike ride from the core downtown.
