Floating cities are getting far closer to reality than ever before — but they won't be the libertarian utopias billionaires have proposed

For decades, floating cities have been part of a utopian vision to build societies that operate independently of government.
Organisations like the Seasteading Institute aim to create peaceful, self-sufficient communities at sea – but they have faced multiple obstacles.
In April, a United Nations roundtable entertained an idea for a new kind of floating city that could address issues such as rising sea levels and overcrowding in urban areas.
The vision is part of what designer Bjarke Ingels calls “utopian pragmatism,” or generating grand designs that can be built in practical ways.
