Based on current climate change, there
seems to be a good chance that we will have to restructure our way of life
within the next several generations. Futurist Phil
Pauley has been concocting the perfect underwater city for future humans
who may have to abandon land.
Pauley’s Sub-Biosphere 2 proposes creating
an entirely self-sustaining civilization that will float in the ocean. The
biosphere will need no air, water, or other resources from the outside world
because the closed ecosystem will provide everything the residents need.
The futuristic structure will consist of
one central “support” sphere and eight off-branching smaller spheres. Each
smaller sphere houses about 100 families. Each of the nine spheres contains its
own ecosystem, providing the entire structure as a whole with everything it
needs to survive. It would certainly be a change from the world we inhabit
today, but it could be the idea that will keep the human race afloat in the
coming centuries.
