Does this at least indicate that we are short of land space for our citizens? If so, then how can our architect founding father (HDB) claim we can more than accommodate 10plus million people on this island? Now we are exploring offshore. Also would it infringe on maritime boundaries? Didn't authorities claim our sea routes would increase by 25% by year 2025 or 2030? The cost would be frightening - then we need to ask who are the privilege who can afford to buy or rent to stay? Headache.

would u live in a floating city? how much would u pay for 1? structurally it looks almost like our Supertrees/avatar trees in gardens by the bay. might entice our gahmen in that sense since tourism so impt to us in generating revenue. 10 years to build, EXPECTED to last 100 years. EXPECTED.... hmm...... [nod]

 

Singapore could very well be building something that looks straight out of a futuristic Japanese anime series.

 

What is the future of physical expansion in Singapore? One high-tech vision for Singapore is to create floating environmentally friendly cities made up of artificial islands in our immediate equatorial ocean.

 

How big is a Green Float?

It is going to be 1km in height. At that elevation, the temperature will be cooler at 26°C year-round. It will be constructed in the sea by utilising the buoyancy force of sea water.

 

How expandable are Green Floats? 

Each Green Float cell is 1km to 3km, a walkable distance across and can grow outwards.

 

How durable is a Green Float?

Each Green Float would take about 10 years to construct. A Green Float will have a 1km-high tower and a base that is 3km in diameter. Once completed, it is expected to last 100 years. It is also built to float with the ocean current, so it doesn’t remain in one place and block out sunlight from penetrating the depths below.

 

How much land does Singapore need? 

An additional 5,600 hectares of land are needed by 2030 to cater for a population of between 6.5 and 6.9 million.One hectare is 100 metres by 100 metres.The projection is based on Singapore’s Land Use Plan.Economic Development Board managing director Chng Kai Fong said Singapore is leaving no stone unturned to find solutions to physical expansion: “We’re using every possible surface and expanding our options.”

 

Why is Singapore an ideal location? 

Singapore’s calm equatorial waters may be one of the best places in the world for them to construct a Green Float. How small is Singapore? Singapore is the 20th-smallest country in the world and the second smallest in Asia. Singapore has 724km² of surface area, less than half the size of London. What other options exist to expand land use in Singapore? The other options include building in the air, such as above roads, canals and existing structures. Currently, the city of London has projects that have seen additional housing units built on the roof of existing buildings that have been reinforced, potentially expanding the property market without touching existing land.

Heard this during with the Muttons.

 

Quite interesting. I'll get ready to be the Mayor of the floating city.

Green Float is unlikely to get in S'pore. Our shore line is more focus for shipping rather than housing for people. Contrary to this, we're too close to our neighbour and territorial challenges will be overwhelm for the government to shake off.

It is unwise to venture the floating city in our nation. Probably underground city will be more feasible and risk calculated.

Eh. If you have money, why would you want to live underground like a rat? 

 

If you don't have money, can easily retire in JB or somewhere cheaper.

keep the population at 5m and that's it

Why not build taller homes and remove the height restriction in west and central area?

 

This floating island takes up big space at limited sea and sea is important for shipping line.

 

So the only way to build high or go dig deeper. Reclamation and floating island is not ideal
