Abstract
The aim and objective of the PhD research is to expand coastal cities to adapt as per rising sea level. Taking problem as opportunity to bring Science, Engineering, Government policies and Design together to make Resilient, Sustainable communities which shall float on water and stay on ground as well. Floating city shall be designed using existing and new methods / technologies under research envisioned for floating. The quest is to make sustainable habitat enabling people to live, work, learn and play. Aim is to instill sustainable recycling methods, energy conservation and optimum usage of land and marine Eco system. The research would serve as a model for evolving sustainable neighbourhoods designed in a modular way, which can beeasily extended or re-arranged, so as to adapt for future socio-economic realities. The PhD research is being carried out in Innsbruck University, Institute of Experimental Architecture, Hochbau for Design, Architecture and Urbanism. The research is primarily focused on the coastal city region of Mumbai, India with flooding and other relative problems, the city is facing. The research shall undergo analysis of case studies, books and writings published on coastal cities, thus understanding its morphological, social,economic, political and environmental (marine, terrestrial and atmospheric) aspects. This research shall be beneficial for many cities in various countries across the globe which are in a similar situation of rising sea levels and flooding. Eg: Jakarta of Indonesia, Osaka of Japan, etc.
