This is because 90% of the world's largest cities are vulnerable to submergence as glaciers melt and seas rise on a warming planet, Daily Mail reports. Legit.ng gathers that the floating city will have town features such as public squares and markets. Victor Kisob, UN-Habitat's deputy director, said: "Floating cities sound like a crazy idea but they could lead to all sorts of possibilities if done in the right way. "The next step would be to design a prototype with partners from the private sector that could be tried and tested."
