Here's what the world's first floating city in Busan, South Korea, could look like
Key Points
The United Nations, a floating city developer firm called Oceanix, and the South Korean city of Busan on Tuesday unveiled the prototype for a floating, sustainable version of the key shipping hub.
Since 1880, the average global sea level has risen between eight and nine inches, and could rise another 12 inches by 2050.
The floating city prototype is made of interconnected platforms that total 15.5 acres in surface area. Each floating, modular piece of the city is designed for a specific use, like living space, research facilities or lodging.
