The floating city of the future in the form of lilies

Belgian architect Vincent Kallebaut developed projects floating cities, which should help humanity to protect themselves from floods caused by climate change and global warming. The project is called the Lilypad, and his second name literally sounds like a "floating Ecopolis for climate refugees".

Such a city-island will only use the natural energy sources-solar, wind, energy ebbs and flows, and so forth, so that should not cause any harm to the environment.

In Vincent's idea, Lilypad may be tied to land, or float freely in the open ocean ...

Island with greenery both outside and inside ...

Inside will be a real oasis of different exotic vegetation ...

The very construction is made in the form of a flower water lily ...

Calculate such a floating city of 50 thousand people ...

Of course, now it's only his thoughts and dreams of the architect, having nothing to do with reality, but with the projections IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), pursuant to which the sea level during this century would rise to 20-90 cm, it seems, step in the right direction.
