The first Autonomous floating city will be erected off the coast of Tahiti Bashny.Net

The world's first floating city will appear in the Pacific ocean off the island of Tahiti. The government of French Polynesia signed a contract with the Institute of sitadina, according to which construction work must begin within two years.

With such an ambitious project, the authors hope to practice to confirm that independent cities can be the perfect place for the development of new state forms of government and agricultural technology.





Institute of distending was created five years ago in California, one of the founders of Paypal Peter Thiel (Peter Thiel) and all this time was developing a design for a "permanent, innovative communities floating at sea". The project concept implies the construction of Autonomous floating cities is the first step towards the implementation of the "eight great moral imperatives".





Free societies are outside the jurisdiction of any country, floating in the open sea, according to the authors, could help to solve mankind is a complex topical issues: access to health care, the fight against hunger and poverty, the development of renewable energy and a range of environmental issues.





Consisting of 118 Islands of French Polynesia, which is located in the South Pacific ocean, is interested in this project because the region faces the risk of rising sea levels. But to get from the local government's final agreement on the implementation of the project, its developers need to prove two main points: whether a city is beneficial for the local economy and will not affect whether it is on the local environment.





Artisanales (Artisanopolis – one of the alleged names of the first floating city) will consist of 11 platforms in the form of rectangles, and pentagons, which can be interchanged and arranged in any configuration, like a puzzle. Among themselves they are connected to a reliable double locks. The size of one of the platform around 50 meters in length and as many in height. The immersion depth of the platform will be adjusted with ballast. In the storm platform can be higher to lift above the water to protect the inhabitants from the waves and wind.





The platform will be constructed of reinforced concrete and can withstand the building to three floors. Dutch firm DeltaSync, responsible for the engineering part of the project, argues that the life of such platforms is about 100 years. It is assumed that at the beginning of Artisanales will live 250-300 people, in the future, the population will increase. The cost of one platform is estimated at $15 million Total cost of the first independent city of approximately $167 million.

The author of the concept of sitadina — Petrie, he Friedman (Patri Friedman), activist and libertarian, a former software engineer in Google. In 2008, he founded the Institute of sitadina together with the former Director of PayPal Peter Till, who has invested in the Institute of $500 thousand.





Initially, the founders of the Institute conceived of the floating city in the first place, as a space for creating free and sustainable communities outside the jurisdiction of any state. To date, to implement it is not yet possible. "The high cost of maintenance at sea is a serious obstacle to the creation of cities in international waters. We have to start construction in the territorial waters of countries that agree to it," acknowledged founders in the statement of 2015.

As the ideology of contadina, it's not just to create one political system or type of system, but the development is ready for immediate use method of creating new countries, so many groups were able to try a wide variety of options, and all of them could work together to learn this. published
