Issues such as climate change, energy crises, population growth and the increasing concentration of residents in urban areas are the challenges of the future, and some solutions to these challenges are already on the way. New plans for floating cities are one of these answers. This book proposes several viable urban planning solutions applicable to many coastal cities of the world, starting from a pilot project in the city of Singapore. The book provides a truly innovative urban planning and architectural solution, as well as an interesting overview of the characteristics of floating constructions. The topics explored in the book will be of great interest not just for the various operators in the architecture and development sectors, but also for all those who wish to feel involved in rethinking our cities.
