Abstract
This paper deals with the urban development of Reykjavík during the first half of the 20th century, with particular attention to building techniques and their influence in the construction of a modern capital city for Iceland. By analysing its first building codes (issued in 1903 and in 1945) and some examples of residential typologies built in that same period, this research highlights the special role that concrete played in the growth and modernisation of Reykjavík.
