Here’s how the world’s first floating city in the Pacific will look like

Date:

The French Polynesian government has signed a deal with Seasteading Institute to construct the world’s first floating city in the Pacific Ocean.  French Polynesia is interested in the project as 118 of its islands are at a risk from the rising sea levels.

 According to the media report, Seasteading Institute, a California-based organisation works to establish ‘permanent settlements on the ocean’ in order to create new nations. The construction of the project will begin in next two years, reports Sun.

The media report says that the floating islands will feature aquaculture farms, medical research facilities, healthcare and sustainable energy powerhouses. While the city will float off-shore of a host nation, it will reportedly have a certain degree of political independence.

The report also says that the director of Seasteading Institute, Mr. Randolph Hencken says that while they are looking for sheltered waters, they don’t want to build the city in the open ocean as it would be very expensive.
