Inside the first floating city in the world – with restaurants, winter garden and space for 12,000 residents

ANEW floating city that would be home to as many as 12,000 people has been revealed.

The Oceanix Busan community would be built on water in Busan in South Korea, and would have restaurants, apartments as well as a winter garden.

It hopes to be the “world’s first prototype sustainable floating city,” as well as “a flood-proof infrastructure that rises with the sea”.

Across the 15.5 acres, buildings would be on floating platforms connected by bridges.

There would be three areas – living, lodging and research – while neighbourhoods would have large outdoor seating areas and public venues.

It could eventually expand to house more than 100,000 people, with 20 platforms.
