As Sea Levels Rise, Dutch See Floating Cities
Delft University of Technology A Dutch design firm imagines floating cities as a response to climate change.
The Dutch have long been known for innovative ways of managing water in flood-prone regions.
So perhaps it is not surprising that designers in the Netherlands are envisioning floating cities that would make parts of low-lying nations habitable amid dramatically rising sea levels and storm surges linked to climate change.
Floating City
Floating City is a concept for sustainable, innovative urbanization in a densely occupied delta area. It is a climate robust solution for urban development. In contrast to conventional urbanization, the Floating City can cope with water level fluctuations. Thus, it is a city without flood risk. In this project special attention was paid to themes of sustainability and mobility.
