Ocean Urbanism
Ocean Urbanism is a design approach that looks at how cities can use floating structures and modular platforms to create new living and working spaces on water. In the context of Future Architecture, Ocean Urbanism uses lightweight materials and flexible systems that can be moved or changed as needed. Designers use solar panels, wind turbines, and systems that clean water to help these floating spaces work well and support people living there. Ocean Urbanism helps cities grow without taking up more land, and it gives people new ways to live close to the sea, which is important as sea levels rise.
