The Shimizu Corporation Green Float Cities are Completely Self-Sufficient

The Shimizu Corporation Green Float cities are a series of floating eco cities that are completely self-sufficient. The Japanese company unveiled their designs for these futuristic looking floating cities, which feature islands completely covered in vegetation.

The city supposedly can generate all of its own power, grow its own food, manage its own waste and provide inhabitants with clean water. On the series of islands there will be “eco skyscraper cities” where the inhabitants will live and work. The Shimizu Corporation Green Float cities are pretty futuristic, but at least their designs focus on sustainability.
