Maldives Floating Cities

Whether it is learning to scuba dive and holding cabinet meetings underwater to prepare for rising sea levels, or President Nasheed’s outspoken criticism against global inactivity on climate change, the island nation of Maldives is putting a human face on global warming.

Now, in an unusual move, the tiny country has teamed with Netherlands-based Docklands/Dutch Watervalley to create a series of floating islands complete with leisure facilities like a nine-hole golf course, pools and a convention centre.

The Waterstudio.NL designed project will include a star like formation of floating cities, providing the Maldives’ people with a place to live after the rising sea levels have washed away their island nation.
