A floating, artificial island that cruises
around the world.
An illustration of advanced automation
and in consistence with Arcology.
Entirely self sufficient with a continuous
supply of food and freshwater.
Minimises the impact of human
economic activity on the environment.
Entirely Carbon Neutral .
Extremely safe from climatic hazards.
Economy Infrastructure
Enormous Ant colony modelled city with Mighty tower structures that cover several kilometres in girth, accommodating millions.
Necessary integration of vertical farming,
self sustaining systems for energy
and water.
Self assemblingbuildings,
advanced use of material and
robotic science
Architecture and ecology
work to create a green
sustenance
Transport
Highly efficient transport systems are located throughout to move
travellers horizontally, vertically or diagonally, using improved cable designs and electromagnetic propulsion
The city has landing pads and efficient
functional Air travel ports
Air and road transport modes
will be faster, saferand use renewable
energy forms for fuel
Public transport efficiency will grow
by bounds to accommodate mega-
city populations
Government
structure and Law
The geo-political map will undergo various changes as floating cities create Micro –
nations, that have autonomous Government structures, and a new age,
fairer democracy
Various loopholes in the current Judicial system will be fixed, making it infallible,
and intolerant to mass crimes.
Greater participation in governance and
awareness will exist on part of the
citizens.
Law enforcement bodies are bound to achieve higher crime control, with the use
of technology and training.
Demography
The Elite –rich community will shrink
making economic parity possible, men and women salaries will also stand at par.
Increased population control schemes and
regulations, combined with increased family
planning and individualistic lifestyles
will lead to a massivedecline in birth rate.
Groundbreaking medical discoveries,
improved and cheaper health care
will increase life expectancy.
Earning capacities will undergo severe shift
as capitalism perishes to a societal
need for conservation
Education
Use of virtual reality simulations will create faster and
more effective learning possible.
The education system will be under a constant process of upgradationin terms curriculum and medium of instruction.
Making it more relevant and customized to
learning needs.
Information and education will be
accessible to all for free, and function on cooperative sharing.
A skill based module will be preferred over theoretical modules ,
key concentration being cultivating
innovation
Social and
Cultural Liberalisation
The gender gap has narrowed down to
ensure equality between both sexes
completely.
Religion will take a backseat to
spirituality and liberal outlooks, citizens will feel no hesitation in
free expression.
The mindset of nationalism and
patriotism will be replaced by a sense of Global belonging.
Citizens believe in building a society that takes conscious effort to maintain peace and
harmony, that adopts the best of every culture, and
moves towards a more accommodating civilization.
Economy Why a
Floating City?
A brilliant chance to plan an efficient, self sustaining unit, a step
towards restoring ecological balance.
The towns today will catch up to the cities in the future that are
now at ceiling, leaving little space for systematic city
building.
Resource depletion, climatic shifts and a growing population are essential issues that will need to be
addressed.
Improvement happens with time, and like with all things
at one point in time, the improvement of an existing
city will reach its ceiling from where improvement happens
at a diminishing rate
