There are thousands of beautiful houses. It also provides the opportunity to live there and obtain a residence permit by inviting the international community to purchase a house there, live permanently and rejoice in the beauty of the Maldives, the lifestyle of Maldivians, and try the fabulous experience of living with the sea and mixing green values with the sense of place based on centuries and the experience of feeling tropical surroundings, the perfect weather, and the smooth breeze.This floating city represents the unique culture of this sailor nation. As living on the water is aligned with their history and culture, the Maldivians have a special and strong relationship with the sea. The main characteristic of the city is that is famous as a boating community due to its unique infrastructure that is for gateways and logistics, and by doing so decreasing the land-based movements to biking and walking on natural white sand roads. Only bicycle or electric noise-free scooters/buggies are allowed and cars are restricted due to such roads.The architects of the water studio named Developer Dutch Docklands have conceived a next-generation sea-level water-proof urban development, by using green technology, commercial viability, safety, and a healthy new lifestyle that will prove the backbone of future floating cities. By doing this, the citizen can rewrite their journey from climate refugees to climate innovators.It is situated just ten minutes by boat from the capital Male to the international airport, The floating city of Maldives is a flexible, dynamic city with a network that can respond to dynamic weather, its demand, and climate change. By using innovative sustainable development technologies and applying best practices of an ecological system for the protection purpose, to enhance and preserve the pristine eco-system of marine. This is a unique and adorable city of the world that is the future benchmark for the development of other projects like this around the world. It is a very unique city both upper side and underneath. The rising sea level is the result of climate change. In this world, this is normal and also happening on many islands. In islands, one of the beautiful places in the Maldives, situated in the Indian Ocean, is now facing such issues and challenges. With the partnership of Dutch Docklands, a Netherlands-based company with the government of the Maldives it built a floating city.  That is the solution to the housing problems and also a revolution while respecting the ecology of the region.The amazing architecture of the Dutch Docklands has been planning a wonderful, colorful city over the years. The ten minutes distance from the male, the capital of Maldives, will sit housing for 20,000 people. A flexible, connected and fixed grid will rest in the largest protected waters. The amazing shape of the city is like a coral structure.Restaurants, shops houses, and schools will all have the property of waterfront along the winding canals that bend through the plan of the city. The price of the house will range upward from 250,000 dollars.  It is called a luxury vacation destination for the wealthy, the project developers and the government hope that its price will be reasonable to the local citizen as well. The construction of the houses has begun and the expected residents will arrive in 2024.The best solution for the overpopulation and the solution to the flooding issues as the sea level rise, this city is the hope for floating city developments.Former President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, said in a statement, “Our adaption to climate change mustn’t destroy nature but work with it, as the Maldives Floating City proposes. In the Maldives, we cannot stop the waves, but we can rise with them.”
