Never Builded Top 5 Famous Water Cities

Living on water paradise is old dream for many people. Did you watch the movie "Waterworld" (1995)? In the movie, some other the Earth in future is engulfed with water when the polar ice caps melts, leaving the lands and civilization beneath the sea. Drifters sail across the waters of the world on their man-made ships and trading for supplies. The Mariner (Kevin Costner) sails his trimoran over the seas between cities build in the middle of the ocean. What if I told you that there are real plans and projects for living-ships? You are amazed, aren't you?

1. First one is called The World
It is a plan of management company offering sales, marketing, operations and administration services for specialty luxury properties on land and sea - ResidenSea and their project is world’s only mobile and full-time floating luxury community called The World. Think of The World as a cruise ship - but on serious steroids!



2. The Freedom Ship
Another project - the Freedom Ship is a big step up from The World project, but also unbuilt as of yet, though 1/5 of the on-board living units have already been sold. What is the Freedom Ship? A mile-long, energy self-sufficient floating city with absolutely everything included from parks and playgrounds to apartments, businesses, schools, casinos and shopping malls. It is also networked for phone, mobile and internet telecommunications.




3. First Step in the Galaxy Colonization
The Living Universe Foundation is a weird foundation dedicated to the long-term colonization of the galaxy. In their short term, this foundation believe that a series of self-sufficient, semi-autonomous ocean-going cities are the first step on their eight-step journey (long-term colonization) to galactic conquest.

Apparently, the foundation has started with a land-based colony in Texas with one resident in a trailer. :-)



4. The Celestopia Project
The Celestopia Project is an attempt to colonize the Earth’s oceans by plan - one settlement at a time. They will invent to mine the ocean’s waters for not only “hydrogen and oxygen” but also for “platinum and gold”. Their web page suggests they will use Thermal Energy Converters (OTECs) to harvest power from temperature differentials in the ocean. Each such floating city will be designed to house 5,000 to 10,000 people and these will slowly cover the surfaces of all of the Earth’s oceans. So, land will be extended artificially. And the oceans will disappear in front of our feet.



5. The Triton City
In the 1960s, famous environmentalist, scientist, designer, philosopher and visionary - Buckminster Fuller - developed a design for Triton City which was a floating place of residence for up to 5,000 inhabitants. This floating place was designed to be resistant to natural forces that water cities might encounter on the ocean. Amazingly, but Triton City was approved by the Navy as well as the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the United States.
