Building floating cities in French Polynesia as an answer to climate change

A Silicon Valley tech firm is developing self-contained, floating communities. These floating cities can potentially mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels on nations in the South Pacific.

This article demonstrates, not only the importance of this documentation, but how to craft your own urban diary.
