New floating city can withstand Category 5 hurricanes


Architecture firm BIG has unveiled a concept for a floating city of 10,000 people that could help populations threatened by extreme weather events and rising sea levels. Comprised of hexagonal platforms this city will reduce waste and produce all the food necessary to feed the city's inhabitants. Oceanix City would contain six villages, for a total of around 10,000 residents.


The project was designed for UN-Habitat's Agenda on Sustainable Development and aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
