Building self sustaining floating cities (with capacity of 50,000) each is a good altrnative for land scarce and for this matter sea area scarcity in Singapore. it has to consider the impact on the under water eco system it also has to consider the impact of the commercial shipping lane that handles thousands of ship daily.
@RonzigtheWizard5 жыл бұрын
I am certainly impressed with Singapore's ability to find new solutions to old problems but the real problem they need to find a solution too is the demand to continuously grow. They should learn when enough is enough and develop a means to maintain a successful society without seeking constant growth.

Ocean engineering materials is a tough dilemma. Sea water is basically 'life paste', where if you stick something in the ocean, stuff will grow on it, and often into it. Then there's the corrosion of sea water itself, especially at the oxygenated 'lapping' level. Things get ugly quickly when you stick them in the ocean, unless it's coated in something toxic. It's fine to put on virtual reality goggles and have hope, perhaps, but there's a massive lack of practicality without a materials and maintenance discussion. It's the difference between an investment scam and an investment, or waste versus progress.
@kvetchdreckmann84834 жыл бұрын
This conjures other architectural ideas, especially the recently recurring theme of forests in skyscrapers. Graphic artists turn city planners by pasting fanciful ideas onto photos of cities. (It worked for science fiction book covers.) Ignoring the lack of space for root systems in most images, vegetation also requires lots of water; water has high mass; these 'forest buildings' would be simultaneously over-built and under-built earthquake prone resource hogs. [When: Force = 1/2 * Mass * Velocity(^2), and you add an earthquake, that water suddenly acts really heavy with every ripple, and wants to take that building down.] Again, the heavy moisture would promote disintegration, require sterilization, while sucking large amounts of power to circulate the needed water, as they'd be upside-down waterfalls on hefty steel and concrete matrices.

Singapore is a country of mixed races with a super potential but land is a problem. I don't know why all of those experts trying to find more space have not considered SHIPS.

Time is a cruel mistress and every ten years or so these ships need servicing but no problem, they are simply towed to a dry dock repaired refurbished & returned to their berth.
