TECH boffins have unveiled plans for a bizarre floating city likened to a real life Noah’s Ark. The ocean-based metropolis would provide a “self-sufficient habitat” for 40,000 peo…
The developers, N-Ark, even claim the zone – named Dogen City – would be resilient to an apocalypse.
Measuring 4km in circumference, the plan would be for inhabitants to be able to get to any point in the zone within an hour.
A range of buildings, including a sports stadium, is proposed, and properties would be able to be moved by sailing them to another location.
The infrastructure is circular in design to protect it from severe weather and consists of three infrastructure types.
These are a habitable ring containing the main habitable zones, an undersea data centre and medical research facilities, and flexible inner ring structures that can move freely in the inner bay.
N-Ark’s development roadmap currently earmarks the year 2030 for completion, and designers see the city as a sea-based version of Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Of course, it can only house people that can afford to pay like billionaires and people wit connections.
Wow this is pretty reminiscent of Atlantis.
Reminds me of some ancient crafts discussed between @444gem and Ralphie quite awhile back. I can’t recall the names (I have them saved) but am tied up another day and can’t look them up again, sorry. I’ll try to remember to once I have time again.
its for Japan, that country has always been in danger of sinking, breaking up of its land mass. this was the subject of fiction in the 70s to 80s and being forward looking, several studies were conducted as to how japan can adjust. its not obvious but this is one of the solutions. there were even talks with australia to house the nation of japan temporarily in case the big earthquake arrives but that fizzled out.
I wasn’t aware of that, thanks, John.
Need more than that piece of crap to survive what’s coming.. they’ll be hiding under the rock masses
Fake Island of the Richs!!!
