Floating Cities: Our Future on the Water

The sea is rising, coastal cities are at risk. What if we didn't fight the water? Discover floating cities, our radical future on the ocean.

In this video, we delve into the groundbreaking concept of floating cities, exploring how they offer a viable solution to the pressing challenges of rising sea levels and climate change. From the ambitious Seasteading movement's early libertarian dreams to the UN-backed Oceanix Busan prototype in South Korea, learn about the innovative engineering, sustainable design, and bold vision behind these aquatic metropolises. We'll uncover how projects like the Maldives Floating City are not just futuristic concepts but essential for survival in low-lying nations.

Discover the secrets of marine concrete, modular hexagonal platforms, and closed-loop systems that make these cities self-sufficient, harvesting rainwater, solar energy, and even growing their own food through advanced ocean farming. We also tackle the complex questions of maritime law, governance, and the psychological impact of living disconnected from land. Is the 'Blue Economy' the next frontier for humanity? Join us as we explore whether adapting to a life on the blue can truly be our future.
