WORLD’S FIRST FLOATING CITY

04 Dec 2013


The world’s first floating city will feature everything from schools, parks and shops to a hospital, casinos and an airport.



The world’s first floating city is soon to become a reality. The $10 billion Freedom Ship will be big enough to fit 50,000 residents, 30,000 visitors, schools, a hospital, parks and even an airport. Since the vessel will be too large to enter any port, it will simply sail from country to country in two-year cycles.





The mile-long floating city is nearing start of construction, according to Florida-based Freedom Ship International Inc. It will boast 25 floors of activities, schools, hospitals, art galleries, shops, parks, casinos, an aquarium and a small airport on the roof with a runway for smaller private and commercial aircrafts.

The company is currently trying to raise the $10 billion needed to make this huge project a reality. The company’s vice-president said that they are just $1 million short of the amount necessary for construction to start.

Once completed, the ship will be 4,500 feet long - four times longer than the famous Queen Mary II. The large floating structure would be powered by solar panels and aeolic energy while navigating international waters. The city would spend most of the year - around 70 percent of the time - anchored off major cities.
