If we go by your logic and push it further, let's keep increasing the population, no problem, in the future we can all just eat rice and wheat and nothing else. We'll all get sick but it's ok, at least there'll be no land shortage. The real solution is to go back to a more humane number of people on the planet, so that we can grow both a good variety of plants AND animal products (without having to necessarily restrict in any way) in free-range and sustainable ways, to feed everyone a healthy balanced diet. It's been a while since humanity has reached such high numbers that it forces us to heavily rely on large-scale and factory farming, and even that way a lot of people on the planet aren't even being fed a balanced diet. Optimally, every human on the planet should be eating a balanced diet of plants and animal products that all come from organic, free-range, ethical farms. And that's not even close to possible with 8 billion people on the planet. Human overpopulation is definately humanity's and the planet's biggest threat in the coming centuries, unless we discover some crazy new technologies that can alleviate the issue.

@@coreyhipps7483 - I can see a workaround that would allow a launch platform to be included: a semi-independent platform that can travel out to a safe distance for the launch, and then return afterwards. This would allow the rocket exhaust to be directed into the water, eliminating some of the engineering problems faced by on-shore launchpads. NASA's launch facilities already use vast amounts of water to mitigate the destructive effects of rocket exhaust plasma on concrete structures. The obliteration of the SpaceX launch facility a while back showed why. IMO the real flaw in thinking is economics. Given the immense energy cost of sending a person up into space, it is improbable you'll see vast numbers of people heading into space on a regular basis any time soon, so the demand from such a comparatively small city will only be high enough to warrant building the facilities if it is part of a floating megalopolis. What there could be demand for is a system which is well-suited to small inanimate items, compact, significantly more energy efficient, and can safely operate within the city itself.

You also need the distance in case of an explosion or crash. Granted, these rockets may be significantly smaller, but it's something so unnecessary (we don't launch rockets from cities anyways) that it calls into question the experts that may or may not have been consulted in the design process.

N-ARK's planned development, Dogen City, is said to be located on Lake Hamana in Japan. And coincidentally, I live in Kosai City, a city facing the west side of Lake Hamana. (Kosai means west of the lake in Japanese.) Until I watched this video, I had no idea that there was such a grand plan for that big lake, which is right under my nose. It is very surprising. What do you think of the feasibility of this project, I think it would be very difficult because Japan doesn't have much money to spare. Because Japan is indeed a country with a small living area, but in the countryside there is an abundant surplus of land. There is also a large amount of abandoned land due to the ageing of farmers and lack of successors, so the government will probably prioritise investment in agriculture. It's a layman's idea, though. But I think it's a very ambitious challenge. These dreamy plans are reminiscent of the Japan of the past. As locals, we are looking forward to investing in the future.

It's a sad thing teenagers have become so lazy and adopted this consumer mindset where they need to be and do everything others do. It's the one weakness of their culture exposed by TV and the internet, people are too wary of others opinions and will mindlessly flock towards whatever is popular. Just like ramen, two times i visited Japan and the second time i learned to avoid all the shops with waiting lines, instead i checked the less popular ones and they were as tasty if not even better than the ones with the massive queues. I'm happy that there are sstill people wanting to invest in the future locally over there, I love Japan.

Amazing Build

In the late 1980s Australia had built an 8 story floating hotel which always failed to make money despite a succession of entrepreneurial buyers. Originally called the John Brewer Floating Hotel, it was later purchased and called the Four Seasons Barrier Reef Resort. The hotel was then sold and relocated to Vietnam in 1989, operating as the Saigon Floating Hotel. In 1998 the hotel was then sold and bought by Hyundai Asan and taken to South Korea. In March 2022, it was reported that the dismantling of the hotel had commenced and the materials would be sold off as scrap. Building these sort of structures is always expensive and they're even more expensive to maintain. Similarly with sailing vessels, they say you should always allocate 10% of the ship's purchase cost to annual maintenance. As for establishing farming and industry, if you were an investor, why would you set up a factory or a farm on such an expensive piece of real estate when it's just so much cheaper and massively more cost efficient to do it on land. I'm sure these sort of structures have potential as tourist resorts or luxury villas, or a variation on the cruise ship theme, but definitely not as a solution to cost-efficient accommodation for low income earners, refugees, long-term tenants, or as a remedy for sustainable living. If we no longer have sufficient arable land (i.e. capable of being ploughed and suitable for growing crops) which we can farm and live on, then we're all screwed. You've got about as much chance of using a colony on Mars for refugee accommodation as you do with floating platforms for permanent or long-term cost-efficient habitation.

Plus, you could make them private so random homeless people can't come on them, no cars would even be permitted perhaps, and all of the power is provided by solar and tidal (or nuclear micro-reactors).

Place it far enough out a tsunami might not be as big an issue. A cross Atlantic and pacific floating bridge would also allow a speed train and even road way for reducing ships and fuel expenditure. Put more cities along each side spread population and allow us more trees along those routes to clean more air. So many things can be helpful. But the speed at which we move, it won’t be up in time.

Greetings from Romania and Japan ❤

The lagoon near venice is perfect for this design.

Cities are not only the housing and construction, but also a lot of easy to access infrastructure (school, public transport, parks, entertainment, community services, etc.). I feel this project is missing a lot on details of such infrastructure, as well as on motivation for people to live in such place at all. Also if you think you would be able to easily get 10-100 thousands of people to live there, what stops you from doing the same on the land first, on top of existing village/small town? By the way, the planned city is 1.58km in diameter, which becomes ~1,96km^2 in inner circle area, less if you only consider the flat surface (ie exclude the water in between the buildings). They plan it to host 40k people, which gives population density of 20k people/km^2 - roughly 2x to New York and 3.5x to Tokyo, again not even taking into account the unusable plots of water in between the buildings. I can only guess how do they plan to achieve that without building 20+ floors living towers (obviously you can't have that floating on the water) and how much both the 'land' and the service fees cost in such a city (likely 10x or even more to respective big cities they are using as a 'bad' example).

There's some real life examples of people living on a full 2 story house on a floatation device on water. Those houses had lots of issues. So if it's a city, perhaps we got to think "Is it sustainable?" , "Does it solve an existing problem?" , "Will it return the amount we invest?"

Looks much like a concept

Fantasy. You would have to build somewhere where sunamis aren't a threat

YEAH! Waterworld! Somebody watched Waterworld and thought "Lets do that"

It's an interesting concept. To survive a tsunami the whole structure would need to be more rigid than flexible. In that way the entire structure would absorb the forces as a whole, instead of independently. I've experienced four large rolling earthquakes in California that acted like waves, and all of them were terribly destructive because buildings aren't designed for upheaval. If you're into wrestling, it's like being body slammed. The same physics apply on the sea. On a project this large, a 2 meter wave would make a lot of people sea sick. On a flexible structure the damage would be beyond insurance company compensation.

There’s lots of storms and rough seas come along with that in the area I think mother nature will smash anything built out there😢

Nice pipe dream.

It will work 👍🏾💯💯💯

This might work in big lakes but the ocean will rip this thing apart when storms come

where is that strip of floating river homes at 1:26 please?

This seems like a great idea unless you've owned a boat that was docked on the ocean. There is CONSTANT maintenance. A boat is a great place to pour a whole LOT of money.

Am just worried about falling into the deep sea😅 but it is definitely a great idea to outsource prisons

Yay! Let's heat up the oceans from underneath!!! Sounds like a great plan

We need a floating technologically advanced city in international waters to house millions.

The city stood in one place, a tsunami happened, the city moved - cool

1:46 "Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates" 😂

The beginning music is the Qing theme from the Kaiserreich mod in Hearts of Iron 4. No credits?

This would great in the uk, as we have little land and massive expansion on population and we have 1000s of miles of land that will be under water in 50 years, we need to get on this ASAP, the uk needs a start up like this sing me up

The idea of seasteading is the future. I would love to see one in action, but I do not think this will happen soon. The business plan on this does not make sense, though.

This is place where our main character go to school and get their harem or super power

If you really, really, really want to attempt a proof of concept for this thing, build a floating farm next to and oil rig. Or affordable housing. See how it work. From the challenges alone that you'll have to face doing that around an already existing maritime structure you will truly discover the feasibility of such a farfetched idea.
