Design Solution
The island is configured around a central core to minimize the need for transportation with the majority of development within walking distance, including island access via ferry or train. A monorail connects outlying islands and resorts, limiting walks to five minutes. Solar, wind, and wave energies are harnessed to provide power. Reclaimed water will be used for irrigation and all produce grown locally. The architectural elements will use reclaimed and sustainable systems throughout the development.
