Presentation about floating urban development in symbiosis with ecological development. A BlueRevolution can be a perspective to deal with urgent global issues such as land scarcity, climate change and flooding. The presentation elaborates how resilience, sustainability, food security can be achieved by integrating existing technologies.

Visuals – Life under floating platforms
Insight into the aquatic environment.
The type of fish and aquatic organisms present and
bio-diversity, are indicators of the ecological state of
water bodies.
48. A fundamental new approach to urban development
is needed for the challenges of the 21st century
Floating city expansions combined with food
production can accommodate future urbanization
without sacrificing land
At the same time this strategy provides global food
security and reuses waste of conventional cities
Much research is still needed but, at the same time,
also fast implementation
Floating cities construction is part of a wider societal
transition in which governance is crucial
