Audaciously Adaptable Floating Cities

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Dogen City' is Designed to Withstand Climate Challenges

— June 13, 2023 — Eco
Japanese architecture startup N-Ark has unveiled plans for 'Dogen City,' a futuristic floating city that would be designed to be totally self-sufficient as well as capable of adapting to the challenges posed by climate change and rising sea levels.

This particular floating city would take on a circular shape specially designed to be able to adapt to climate-related challenges such as storms and tsunamis. Measuring in at a circumference of around four kilometers, the 'Dogen City' would be able to host everything from hospitals to tourism facilities, stadiums, schools, office buildings and retail locations. The floating city would also make use of latest sustainable technologies to be able to produce food and power.

Envisioned by N-Ark to be active by the year 2030, this floating city is an ambitious and audacious vision for how the cities of the future can be built.
