About this ebook

Floating Skyscrapers tackles the pressing issue of rising sea levels by exploring the innovative concept of floating cities. As climate change threatens coastal communities, this book investigates the feasibility of constructing self-sufficient, buoyant structures as a resilient urban development alternative. The book highlights how these floating metropolises could offer sustainable urban living solutions, addressing both the engineering challenges and the environmental impact.

The book examines advanced materials and construction techniques necessary for building stable floating skyscrapers. It also delves into integrating renewable energy sources, waste recycling systems, and closed-loop aquaculture to achieve self-sufficiency and minimize environmental impact. Furthermore, the book analyzes the socio-economic factors involved in creating equitable floating communities, addressing issues of affordability, access, and social integration.

Beginning with fundamental concepts like buoyancy and closed-loop resource management, the book progresses through chapters that examine the technological, environmental, and socio-economic dimensions of floating skyscrapers. It culminates in a roadmap for implementing floating skyscraper projects, outlining the necessary steps in planning, design, construction, and governance, providing a comprehensive vision for future urban landscapes.
