  • Pangeos, a sea turtle-shaped floating city concept from Italy's Lazzarini Design Studio, is designed to carry up to 60,000 residents and passengers.
  • The project would stretch about 550 meters long and up to 610 meters wide, making it the largest floating structure ever built if realized.
  • Plans call for a self-sufficient vessel with shopping centers, hotels, villas, pools, gardens, clubs, and dedicated areas for yachts, helicopters and light aircraft.
  • More than $8 billion in investment would be required, and developers say construction would need a new purpose-built shipyard and major dredging works.
With an $8 billion price tag, is the Pangeos floating city a visionary solution or an impossible engineering fantasy?
How will a floating city for 60,000 navigate international laws and its massive environmental impact on the oceans?
