Lillypad, the floating city of Dubai, anyone ever head this?  

I believe many people say “yes” to my question. It is not a new thing or new concept of living on the Earth if you ever heard of Noah’s boat story.

“Award-winning architect Vincent Callebaut has designed a self-sustainable "Lilypad City" as a long-term solution to the problem of rising sea levels caused by climate change. A Lilypad City would provide a home for 50,000 people and would float atop water.”  [http://www.mahalo.com/lilypad-city]

“Humans haven't gained control of their carbon emissions. The earth has warmed up. The oceans have risen. Millions of ecological refugees have nowhere to go. Unless, of course, they had the foresight to build Lilypads”

It was the root of Lillypad, problem of living on the Earth.

First time I found it was last month. It was so fabulous, amazing, and stunning idea.

House for 50,000 people is not  small at all. How to build the floating city, how much it costs, and how people livie in the 50000 people community, I wondered.

Anyhow, looking the picture made me feel positive to the future. There are some people keep think about future, long term problems and trying to find best solution for future of humankind  though it may end up to be just “a rich man toy”
