The UN-back project would be the first to adapt to rising sea levels.

A United Nations group and a large New York-based biotech company are among the players joining forces to build what could become the world’s first floating city adaptable to rising sea levels.

The project looks like floating platforms, hexagonal in shape, about 15 acres in size and anchored in shallow water to the bottom of the ocean, a lake or river. The design for the project was unveiled jointly in late April at the United Nations headquarters in New York by Oceanix, the city of Busan and UN-Habitat, an offshoot of the United Nations that works with partners to build “inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities” in over 90 countries.

The project shows how “floating infrastructure can create new land for coastal cities looking for sustainable ways to expand onto the ocean,” Hofmann said at the time.
