Architect Vincent Callebaut designed Lilypads to be self-sufficient floating cities that can each accommodate up to 50,000 climate change refugees. Inspired by the shape of Victoria water lilies, these eco-cities would be made of polyester fibers and built around a central lagoon, and they would feature three mountains and marinas — dedicated to work, shopping and entertainment. Aquaculture farms and suspended gardens would be located below the water line, and the cities would run completely on renewable energy. Callebaut plans for his Lilypad concept to become a reality in 2100.
10 innovative ideas that let us live on water

I am always fascinated by sustainable innovation, but I must say I harbor some fear of humans migrating to the ocean. Humans have a legacy of destroying most things they touch and we’ve already ruined so much of the ocean, I am fearful of what our presence would do in the long run. Hopefully by then we will have learned some lessons :S

Yes, but I feel like the type of people who would want/be willing to move to these lillypads would not be the types that have destroyed everything they’ve come in contact with.
