Floating Future
Together with a group of partners, we have initiated the Floating Future project to better understand the pros and cons of developing floating cities and infrastructure at a larger scale.

Already many cities situated in coastal areas are vulnerable to sea level rise and at the same time, they have a scarcity of space. Extreme weather events may give rise to high or low water levels in rivers and more space is consequently needed to accommodate big water flows or to store water for periods of drought. In the Netherlands (but also in other deltas around the world) the space for housing and industry is becoming limited due to these developments.
