planet e.: Schwimmende Städte

Klimawandel erfordert neue Ideen

Sea levels are rising. By more than two meters by the year 2100. This rise requires measures, especially for cities on the coast. Hamburg and Bremen are among the cities that would be severely affected by rising sea levels, but so would island groups like the Maldives. Higher dikes are no longer of any use. That's why architects are designing new settlements that float on the water. Is that the solution? How climate-friendly and resource-saving are floating cities?
