Dark_Grey Posted January 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) They could connect to "Garbage Island" and enjoy having the feel and smell of a real city while floating out in the big blue..

highdesert50 Posted January 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2017 An interesting model ... could this provide insight into metrics that aid in future planetary colonization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudSix Posted January 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Quote Ultimately the firm is hoping that the city will one day be able to enjoy complete political autonomy and could eventually lead to a whole series of independent floating nations. Hmm, in the article it says that the pilot one will be built in waters governed by French Polynesia, but they hope for others to be in international waters. If they're going for political autonomy, I reckon' it's a chance for me to be a president! Quote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the size/depth/where. Might manage hurricane/typhoon/tsunami way better than many other coast cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
