According to Oceanix, the city will be able to accommodate around 12,000 people, and it can be expanded in the future to house up to 100,000. The yet-unnamed floating city will be made up of several platforms connected by a series of bridges and will be divided into different sections, including lodgings, living areas, and research buildings. The structures will be modern in their design, low-rise, and offer plenty of outdoor space in between. The mockups show a lot of greenery, street stalls, shops, and leisure areas stretched across a total of 15.5 acres of surface area.
Every bit of water used within the floating city will be treated and recycled on site. It will also rely on solar panels to generate and cover all of its energy needs. These panels will be spread around the city, both on rooftops and floating on the sea itself. While it will allow driving on its perimeters, the city will only permit electric vehicles in order to keep the air as clean as possible.
Itai Madamombe, Oceanix’s co-founder, spoke to Insider in 2021 about the upcoming city in Busan. She said that the estimated cost of the project is around $200 million, and we may see the first parts of the city as soon as 2025, although it’s unclear when people will be given the chance to purchase apartments and eventually move in.
