They Designed A Floating Manta Ray City…Seriously

Is this the future of sustainable cities?  This ambitious designer seems to think so and he has put a lot of effort into this vision:

Jacques Rougerie says he has a special affinity for the sea, which makes sense—his life’s work has been designing aquatic architecture. Rougerie’s SeaOrbiter ship, a fantastical roving laboratory that has been described as “a starship Enterprise for the water,” is currently under construction. And his next design, for a floating city where up to 7,000 ocean-loving humans can live, is an even more extreme demonstration of his passion for the underwater world.

Is this feasible or complete fantasy?

    Anything is possible. However it will be naïve to think that in the early runs of these will not come without peril. I’m sure these cities will have means for escape should one fail and begin to sink.
