Support for the City at Sea Project by Floating City Limited for World Economic Forum’s Major Agenda 2025

Dear Klaus Schwab ,

City at Sea Project, An innovative initiative by Floating City Limited, London, aimed at addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our times, including urban overpopulation, climate change, and rising sea levels.

The World Economic Forum has highlighted that over half the global population resides in urban areas, a figure projected to rise to 80% by 2050. This demographic shift, coupled with increasing energy consumption and climate-driven extreme weather events, necessitates investment in sustainable infrastructure. The City at Sea Project directly aligns with these goals, presenting a revolutionary approach to urban living and mobility.

About Floating City Limited and the City at Sea Project

The City at Sea Project envisions a floating metropolitan city, a state-of-the-art oceanic vessel designed to serve as a safe, sustainable, and innovative habitat for up to 100,000 residents. With dimensions of 1,393 meters in length, 230 meters in width, and 110 meters in height, this structure will be more than four times the size of the Largest Ships in the world and will redefine the concept of living, working, and thriving on water.

Key features of the project include:

1. Sustainability at Its Core: The vessel will leverage green technologies and ESG-compliant systems to reduce its environmental footprint while addressing climate resilience.
2. Luxury Meets Functionality: Housing, recreational facilities, an international duty-free mall, educational institutions, world-class healthcare, and advanced transportation systems, including hydrofoils and aircraft, will cater to diverse needs.
3. Economic Opportunity: A dedicated 2.0 million square feet of commercial space will foster global business exchanges and innovation.
4. A Global Mission: The vessel will circle the globe, docking at strategic locations to enable cultural exchange, business collaboration, and awareness campaigns aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The project has gained traction among global investors and sustainability advocates. Furthermore, initial discussions undergoing with the United Nations Agency's and other stakeholders have demonstrated its potential as a benchmark in sustainable urban development.

Relevance to World Economic Forum’s Agenda

As per the WEF, the economic cost of rising sea levels and urban vulnerabilities could exceed $5.5 trillion by the end of the century. Floating City Limited’s City at Sea Project represents a proactive solution, offering a climate-adaptive and economically sustainable model to mitigate these challenges.

We are committed to making the City at Sea a global symbol of resilience, innovation, and sustainability. With an estimated project cost of $25 billion USD, which including shipyard upgrades, your support will be instrumental in realizing this vision.
