Tech experts have revealed plans for a floating city likened to a real-life Noah\u2019s ark. According to Japanese designers, the ocean-based metropolis would provide a \u201cself-sufficient habitat\u201d for 40,000 people.<\/p>\n

The developers, N-Ark, even say the zone, named Dogen City, would be resilient to an apocalypse. The floating city measures 4km in circumference, and the plan would be for inhabitants to be able to get to any point in the zone within an hour. Numerous buildings, including a sports stadium, are proposed, and properties could be moved by sailing them to another location.<\/p>\n

The infrastructure is circular in design to protect it from severe weather and has three infrastructure types. A habitable ring contains the central habitable zone, an undersea data center and medical research facilities, and flexible inner ring structures that can move freely in the internal bay. N-Ark\u2019s development roadmap states the project will be finished in 2030. Designers see the city as a sea-based version of Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX.<\/p>\n

Designers explained, \u201cNew Ocean is a term intended for the ocean version of the private space business innovation \u2018New Space\u2019 started by Space X. We will propose six elements (medical, food, housing, information, and electrical services) to realize New Ocean, promote the entry of various companies, and promote ocean development activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
