Artist's rendition of the Maldives Floating City (Credit: https://maldivesfloatingcity.com)

The annual 3-to 4-millimeter rise in sea levels is expected to impact many coastal communities in the coming decades. However, few are as vulnerable as the Republic of the Maldives, a collection of more than a thousand picturesque islands in the Indian Ocean. NASA researchers believe that parts of what is "arguably the lowest-lying country in the world" will become uninhabitable by 2050, due to wave-driven flooding and limited freshwater. To combat the inevitable, the government recently unveiled plans for the world's first "true" floating island city.

      The Maldives was so fun! My dad owns a villa there and last summer we went there and it was amazing! The air was fresh and sand white! The villa was small but huge? I don't know how to explain it lol! But when you walk in there's a huge ceiling and a Master bedroom. and then in the back there was two hallways to two bedrooms each and right behind that master bedroom was the kitchen! It was an amazing trip! Everyone should look into going! Bye!

        I dont think this will work properly, if it is just islands with no pillars connecting to said floating islands(witch is what the article is pointing at) it could be dangerous for those who live their. floating things can only take so much weight. think of it as a boat, if it takes on to much weight it could sink putting many people in danger. this is a problem for the bigger islands (such a schools and hospitals, and more of the bigger stores) if it is a hospital sinks it could kill a lot of sick or injured people. not to mention nature and its way of making chaos. even if hurricanes art common in that area their is still a chance that one could pop up and kill many. i know they might find a way of fixing these problems but some are inevitable. but you know those are just some of my opinions like anyone will listen to me🤡🥲
