Opis

Water, a space full of possibilities and unimagined diversity, has always held a great fascination for humans and draws them in as if by magic. Many cities on the water, such as Hamburg, Venice and Amsterdam, are now very popular - whether as places to live, business locations or tourist destinations. In view of advancing climate change, this paper focuses on life on water and thus the emergence of floating cities. The idea of floating cities has already come to the attention of urban planners in recent years in the form of a number of utopian visions. This paper attempts to highlight the untapped potential of this idea and provide an exemplary overview of the technical feasibility of planning and implementing a floating city.
