Japanese company N-Ark is spearheading an ambitious project of creating an advanced island city known as Dogen City.
This innovative project aims to establish a self-sustaining community capable of withstanding the impacts of rising sea levels caused by climate change. With a population capacity of 40,000 individuals, including both permanent residents and tourists, Dogen City aims to provide essential resources such as electricity, food, and water to its inhabitants.
The city will have a circular shape with a circumference of approximately 4 kilometers, designed to enhance its resilience against tsunamis, although specific details on this aspect have not yet been disclosed. The development plan includes various features such as tourism facilities, medical centers, and even a rocket launch pad.
The project encompasses three main areas: a residential zone, an underwater data center that utilizes natural sea cooling for its operations and houses the city management system and medical research facilities, and additional floating structures in an artificial bay.
According to N-Ark, the city will require around 2mn liters of water and handle approximately 3,288 tons of waste on an annual basis. Moreover, it is projected to produce approximately 7,000 tons of food and generate a substantial amount of electricity, reaching 22.2mn kWh per year.
Specific details regarding the implementation of these plans are yet to be unveiled and the exact location of Dogen City has not yet been determined. However, the project is expected to be completed by the year 2030.
