The Mile Long Floating City Of The Future

2026 Renderings: A futuristic proposal for a mile-long floating city capable of housing tens of thousands of people has been revived, with backers claiming it could circle the globe every two years.

Designs for the vessel describe a structure around a mile in length and 800 feet wide, rising 30 decks high and costing an estimated £12bn to build. It is intended to carry up to 80,000 people in total, including around 50,000 permanent residents, 10,000 visitors and 20,000 crew members. The ship would function as a fully self-contained city, with schools, healthcare, housing, retail and leisure facilities spread across multiple decks.

“Vision”: The Electric Mega-Ship Of The Future

At the Seatrade Cruise Global conference in Miami, the MEYER WERFT Group presented Project “Vision”, the world’s first 100 per cent battery electric cruise ship, with a size of more than 80,000 Gross tons.

The concept demonstrated how sustainable innovations can redefine the future of the cruise industry.

Personally, I find this ‘concept’ more realistic that the one above.

Watch on…
