Plans to develop sustainable floating cities ceanix city” that would feed themselves and produce their own food were discussed at a recent meeting at un-habitat in new york. The oceanix city project with architectural form bjarke ingels group (big) , launched the idea and claims that its design is flood-proof and can withstand storms. The working group included a group of architects, engineers, builders and designers from the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), specifically the ocean engineering center , who also joined the development of the project. This floating city will not house vehicles, trucks or any other type of large transportation , much less large buildings, the maximum allowed would be 7 floors. However, it was born as a solution to the climate changes that we are facing and the shortage of homes. We share with you our podcast episode about the article audioplayer 00:00 00:00 use the up/down arrow keys to increase or decrease the volume. Oceanix city designed with the threat of sea level rise in mind, these nautical communities would be united and anchored to the ocean floor in order to create greater strength.
One of the advantages of joining together is that, in the event of uncontrollable disasters, the city could be towed and relocated to another area. Being moored near coastal cities that will be submerged in the future would accommodate residents fleeing the disaster. Well, it is expected that by the year 2050, sea level rise will affect 90% of coastal cities. Although this type of floating city projects had been presented in previous years, it only included a small population of billionaires, however, oceanix city is aimed at everyone regardleswood and bamboo , and Whatsapp Number List include “biorock”; the latter is born from the exposure of underwater minerals to electric current, which results in a limestone coating which is capable of floating and, according to experts, is 3 times more resistant and harder than concrete. The housing modules will be built on land and anchored in a specific location. As surprising as it may seem, it can withstand a category five hurricane; and if the case is that extreme weather makes life too dangerous, the entire city can simply be moved to a safer location as mentioned above.
Grouped islands that form 6 villages; these hexagonal platforms are more efficient due to their architectural form, so the use of materials is projected to be less due to their design. The villages will be connected and each of them will serve to house 300 people. Current plans call for an entire city to house approximately 10,000 people, as this number would allow for “full autonomy in the city.” oceanix city residents would grow their own food both above and below the surface, with underwater cages or “aqua farms,” which would provide the right environment to grow various types of vegetable plants , as well as to raise animal species. In addition, they will be able to manage their own energy ( wind turbines , solar panels ), manage water (with an aquifer system with the capacity to extract drinking water from the air ) and correctly treat waste ( recycling system ). Other characteristics are that the floating city would have: a cultural and spiritual center. A community library in them, residents could find everything from public computers , bicycles to water vehicles for rent.
