CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SETTLEMENTS ON WATER

Abstract

Many of the challenges facing mankind today are accumulating in coastal areas. Changes in the natural and cultural environment necessitate the search for new forms of settlement. One solution is building on water. For many years, it has been the subject of deliberation, fantasy and utopian visions, and in the era of growing technological possibilities, it begins to be quite real. What are the experiences so far? What are architects and engineers proposing for the coming years? Will floating cities really solve the problems of today's world? This article tries to answer these questions; it provides an overview of up-to-date information on water-based construction and addresses its development. It describes the main arguments for creating floating cities, potential difficulties and guidelines for future projects.

Keywords:

climate change, sea-level rise, floating cities, future cities
