Sky News - Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut has proposed a solution to the problems of climate change and over-crowing: the Lilypad.
The Lilypad is described as a 'prototype of an auto-sufficient amphibious city', with individual lilypad able to hold 50,000 people.
The Lilypad is centred around a lake, which collects and purifies rain water. The floating city would have no roads and float around the world along natural tides and currents.
The city is powered by renewable energy sources including solar, wind and tidal power. It produces more energy than it consumes and would be a 'zero-emission' city because all carbon and waste products would be recycled.
