Maldives Floating City

Maldives Floating City is a development in Maldives designed to tackle the rising sea levels of the Indian Ocean.

Description

Set to open in 2027, the innovative city will house approximately 20,000 residents in eco-friendly floating homes and structures that rise with the ocean. It is located about 10 minutes by boat from the capital city, Malé.^[1]

The Maldives Floating City is inspired by traditional Maldivian sea-faring culture, featuring hexagonal islands modeled on local brain coral, creating a brain-like pattern when viewed from above. The city is also host to hotels, restaurants, shops, a hospital, a school and a government building.^[2]

The project is developed in partnership between the government of Maldives and Dutch Docklands, a property developer.
