A Quick Quiz,

name the city that this floating one may replace,

 a few clues, in the 2015 – 2025 Lloyd’s City Risk Index, the city was identified as the 2nd most at risk city only behind Taipei, hurricanes, earthquakes and flooding were the primary issues, the country itself also suffered in recent times from a disastrous tsunami,

if approved and built this will be the view looking down at the 1600-meter tower (1 mile is 1609 meters), which would be twice as high as the world’s current tallest building, so if you are an inhabitant of Tokyo would you live in this city in the bay? the firm whose idea it is KPF hopes you will say yes to the new floating city, the plan is that in 2045 it will all take place, city floating on Tokyo Bay will providing home for half a million citizens, naturally flood defences will be provided and give more protection what will become 'Old Tokyo'

principal architect David Malott is an architect of innovative supertall towers whose portfolio includes 3 of the world’s 10 tallest tower, his firm, KPF, has been involved in some of Tokyo’s most recent major urban redevelopments like Roppongi Hills and the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, the Merrill Lynch Japan Head Office in Nihonbashi and Otemachi Tower, so the plan does have a talented architect at the helm, who knows? But one thing is certain, I would not like to be at the top of a mile high tower that floats when a hurricane hits!
