The United Nations, floating city developer Oceanix and the Korean shipping city of Busan have revealed a prototype for the first floating city.
One-third of that sea level rise has happened in the last 25 years. In the United States, the average sea level rise is projected at between 10 to 12 inches by 2050,Busan is home to 3.4 million residents, and a critical port city. To adapt to rising sea waters, Busan collaborated with the United Nations and Oceanix to develop a prototype of a floating city. Here are some images shared by the company:The prototype is made of interconnected platforms that total 15.5 acres in surface area.
Each modular piece of the city is designed for a specific use, like living space, research facilities or lodging. Bridges connect different platforms.It envisions a community of 12,000 people with the capacity to expand to house more than 100,000 people.The floating city is also fully sustainable with solar panels, and all water used in the floating city will be treated and recycled.Artist rendering courtesy Oceanix, BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group..
