As sea levels rise and risk flooding coastal cities, the first floating city Oceanix Busan, will open in Busan, South Korea in 2026.
It’s not just a city; it’s a modern fortress for human survival against climate change. In 2026, people are now safely building homes on the ocean floor.
How does the floating city survive? It is basically built on a huge hexagonal platform that is connected to the sea floor with chains. If there is a tidal wave or tide, the city can also rise and fall with the water.
About 10,000 people live in this city in 2026. There are no cars here, and travel is mainly by boat or water tram.
Completely self-sufficient system: This city does not depend on the outside world. The roof of every building in the city is covered with solar panels, which generate the necessary electricity.
Drinking water is collected by purifying seawater and all types of waste are recycled and converted into fertilizer. It is a 100% ‘circular city’.
Future model: The Maldives and Vietnam have also signed agreements with South Korea to build such floating cities in 2026. 2026 shows us that the ocean is no longer a threat to us, it will be the place where people will live in the future.
