Floating City Concepts explores the groundbreaking idea of water-based urban living as a response to climate change and overpopulation.
The book examines the feasibility of floating cities, highlighting how these innovative structures could provide a sustainable solution to rising sea levels and land scarcity.
It delves into the technological and engineering challenges of building stable, self-sufficient floating communities, while also considering the socio-economic factors that influence their adoption and governance.
Readers will gain insights into how integrating cutting-edge marine engineering with comprehensive urban planning can create resilient urban environments.
The book emphasizes the importance of environmental sustainability and social equity in floating city development.
It showcases the potential of these cities to harmonize with aquatic environments, drawing on historical precedents of human settlements on water.
Floating City Concepts progresses from an introduction to the core concept, through engineering and urban planning considerations, to practical applications across different geographical and socio-economic contexts.
The evidence is based on a synthesis of academic research, engineering reports, and climate change models.
