Description

By 2100, coastal cities around the world are predicted to be fully submerged underwater. Despite many factors leading to the sinking of a city, the current trend of sea-level rise reveals an alarming rate for these metropolitan cities by the coast. This project explores various fictional scenarios in which the livelihoods of residents within these coastal regions are affected by the rising waters. Sinking Cities 2100 envisions the possibility of a re-imagined contrasting future and drastic scenarios of each coastal region through comparing Asia’s rapidly sinking with potentially sinking cities.
