The Keflavik Airport Development Company (Kadeco) in Iceland has selected multidisciplinary team led by KCAP to develop a strategic masterplan for the area surrounding Keflavik. The plan will involve development works in a 55 sq. km area surrounding Keflavik International Airport.
The proposal from KCAP identifies three catalyst sites that will strengthen existing industries and promote development in new areas such as green hydrogen, electric aviation, and marine aquaculture. The catalyst sites are connected by a multimodal Airport Corridor that will significantly improve ground connections between the airport and the Reykjavik capital area. The Airport Corridor also forms the centerpiece of Team KCAP’s ambitious landscape strategy, which proposes reforestation as both a climate mitigation tool and as a clever placemaking technique.
