By 2040, several floating cities could already exist within a kilometer of our coasts. Named Oceanix, they will be used to accommodate all those who will lack space on dry land because of the rising waters, but also overcrowding in large cities. These cities of the future will eventually be able to accommodate 10,000 inhabitants, spread over some thirty platforms which represent an area of 75 hectares, that is to say as large as 100 football fields.

In this brand new city model, the buildings do not rise very high, only between four and seven stories to limit wind resistance and therefore better withstand storms. On site, we find everything you need to live. Everything works in self-sufficiency to limit as much as possible the impact of the city on the environment. Produced in particular by solar panels and by mini-wind turbines installed everywhere on all roofs, the energy is therefore 100% renewable. Of course, these cities will not solve all the problems, but these projects have the merit of providing a sustainable solution that is supposed to be affordable for thousands if not millions of people in the decades to come.
