Responsible land use shapes sustainable data center growth

Data Center Frontier published an opinion article by Jóhann Þór Jónsson of atNorth arguing that responsible land use is becoming central to sustainable data center development.

• The piece says land is now a key issue in AI-ready digital infrastructure, with developers needing to consider ecological sensitivity, biodiversity, community engagement, and long-term regional development alongside power and connectivity.
• It frames brownfield redevelopment, rewilding, green corridors, and community value as part of a new development model, but it does not announce a specific project, deal, or investment.
• Article published by Data Center Frontier on June 26 and written by Jóhann Þór Jónsson, Director of Site Selection at atNorth.
