It may be a vacation paradise and destination of dreams for honeymooners around the world, but the beautiful Maldives archipelago is also one of the most at-risk countries on the planet from climate change. Specifically, the rising oceans that threaten to wash over its tropical islands that are the lowest lying on Earth – the highest point in the entire Maldives sits just under eight feet above sea level on Villingili Island in the Addu Atoll.
But it looks like a new project could be the beginnings of a real solution to the concerns of their shrinking landmass – the Maldives Floating City has had the green light for the construction of some 5,000 floating housing units linked together by walkways and tethered to the 200-hectare lagoon floor. This housing project like no other will sit just a 15-minute boat ride from Maldivian capital, Malé, with its international airport.
Being built under an ‘Integrated Tourism Model’, Maldives Floating City will eventually be exactly that – a mix of houses, hotels, shops, restaurants and marina offering ‘a revolutionary approach to modern sustainable living perched against a backdrop of the azure Indian Ocean. It’s the world’s first true floating island city — a futuristic dreamscape finally poised to become reality.’
