Lilypad Anyone?

How cool is this?

Yes cool, but sad to think that we would ever have to leave terra firma.

"A Belgian architect, anticipating a 50cm rise in sea levels by the end of the century, has designed a floating refugee city. And it looks like a lilypad.

Vincent Callabaut’s amphibious city–bearing the name of its inspiration, lilypad– is a car-free, clean energy utopia that can support 50,000 people with no external supplies. With wind and solar power providing renewable energy, and rooftop gardens allowing for food production, it’s the most efficient, advanced, self-contained community ever imagined."

It's pretty, but I don't really want to live so closely with 49,999 other people...or on a lilypad.
