Today, we face the nearly inevitable future of a very warm earth with oceans many metres higher than they are today. The mechanism for this to occur is something we are all familiar with – World gets Hot; Polar Ice Melts; Oceans Rise. With necessity being the mother of invention, the ever-resourceful people of Holland have come up with a means of surviving the post-apocalyptic water world that we face. Sadly, Kevin Costner is not a part of the grand scheme.
Instead, our urban planning seers have started to sketch out plans for Water Cities – giant floating citadels that are either anchored to the sea floor or drift around the planet peacefully as the residents inside them live their lives as normal. The great thing about these water cities will be the fact that they can move around.
