Floating City Called Dogen City in Japan

Have you heard about a floating city of Japan? A couple of days ago, while chatting on Skype with my American friend from Texas, we came across a fascinating article on one of our favorite sites.

Here's the article :https://themindcircle.com/floating-city-of-japan-dogen-city/

According to the article, it'll be operational by 2030. Wow, in just five years!? Could we really have such a futuristic city so soon even though we still don't know exactly where it will float? Really? Those were my first thoughts when I read the article. Then, I started doubting it because of natural disasters such as typhoons, tsunami and earthquakes. How would the city handle these disasters?

As we kept talking, he looked up the official website and shared it with me. https://www.n-ark.jp/en/dogen-city

It seems very serious and definitely, we'll have the floating city in near future. The city plans to have hospitals, stadium, schools, supermarkets, restaurants, offices, parks and even cemeteries. It's designed to hold a population of 40,000 people; 10,000 permanent residents and 30,000 visitors. The city is anchored to withstand natural disasters, eco-friendly, and designed to promote citizen health. It all sounds very interesting!

I don't want to live there permanently, but visiting there to experience the floating city might be very interesting. What do you think about our new project?
