There are some good elements included in this essay; however, it has several shortcomings when compared to the expectations laid out in the submission requirements and rubric including general organization and not addressing general details about the floating city such as shape, size, storm protection, details around infrastructure and services. Additionally, more thought and details needed about the integration of futuristic elements and advanced technology. |

This essay did not really make reference to it being a floating city other than the initial statement that it was located in the Indian Ocean. The concepts used did not utilize futuristic technologies. The only futuristic idea was in the housing. The font was different throughout the paper, and there was not correct usage of a reference sheet or source listing in the paper. This also did not really address any benefits, trade-offs, or compromises due to it being a floating city. The word count was low so I would recommend utilizing more of the word allowance in describing the shape, work/life functions, benefits, and technology used for this floating city as well as the protection of the floating city. |

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging essay. It is an excellent example of a visionary approach to urban development. It skillfully blends advanced technology, sustainability, and innovative materials to create a resilient and self-sustaining community. I loved the detailed planning and creative solutions, such as plasma gasification and 3D-printed materials. To elevate the essay further, a deeper analysis of trade-offs, quantifiable data, and expanded discussions on feasibility and accessibility would enhance its impact. Excellent effort. |

Had very good futuristic elements. Lacking a bit on the Environmental Impacts. Was a bit unclear on how the hexagon zoning city limit (the graph) what it represented. Felt like more detail could have been applied to that graph to help convey the city layout. The idea of a moving city in case of a 'storm' is very creative however I was left to wonder, does it move back once the storm has past? |

No specific information on jobs or the economy other than recreation. No demographics for the population like race, gender, average income, level of education, top industries, etc.
Does not address natural resources or agricultural opportunities in the city.
Paper does not read easily. Information is chopped up and could be better organized to completely demonstrate criteria in the rubric. I had to re-read the paper several times to follow the process. It appears that there were 2 people or 2 papers that were cut and pasted together without regard to the overall structure of the essay.
How is the power transferred from tides and piezoelectric tiles to the vehicles and homes?
There is no discussion of the impacts of energy production before the innovative technologies were implemented. The focus was on pollution and waste's impact on water.
Engineers were identified but did not provide details for what they did.
The map had the details that were left out of the body of the paper. Using the map information and adding details for each would have made it easier to award higher scores.

With the exception of the section on transportation, which was very well handled, writing was somewhat simplistic. There were a few things that left me wondering about the team's clear understanding of the concept, such as climate, whether or not marine life are considered climate refugees, and what mining dangers are being referred to. Also, I would like to understand how one floating platform can be placed higher than another unless there is some aspect that isn't actually floating. Overall, this essay is good, but the writing could benefit from better organization and more adequate descriptions. |

The report does a good job of covering the overall design and impacts, but missed the impact to existing communities on the coast. Additionally, further thought should be given to how the platforms connect and roads are used because rigid platforms won't evenly rise with the sea level but floating/flexible platforms could be dangerous for drivers. |

Good examples of innovative, sustainable, and advanced technology reated aspects cited with supporting details. Risks identifiedm, tradeoffs mentioned, and multiple disciplines involved in designing a floating city described. Some sentence
constructs, and grammar could have been improved, which would be a "cherry on the cake" for this commendable effort. |

Nice job! The building materials and hexagons are an interesting approaching. And it's an interesting community impact to have small neighborhoods within each hexagon. Talking to an engineer would help clarify your approach and help you identify the risks and tradeoffs of this approach. |

The essay is reasonably well-structured and presents a compelling vision for a futuristic floating city. It excels in detailing infrastructure, modular design, and aspects of city life, but there are areas that require further development and refinement. While the narrative on city life is engaging, it focuses primarily on a single perspective, missing the opportunity to explore broader and more diverse experiences. The description of city services was underdeveloped, and the two innovative and futuristic examples were not explicitly identified. I had to infer what these might be based on descriptions in the essay, suggesting a need for better organization and clarity of ideas. Additionally, the specific contributions of engineers or engineering disciplines were not addressed, leaving an important aspect of the criteria unexplored. The essay also contained several spelling and grammar errors that could have been resolved with a quick proofread. Overall, the submission showcased creative ideas and significant potential but fell short of fully realizing and articulating them. |

Excellent day-in-the-life narrative. Thorough description of the water filtration solution, but limited description of the issue. Section describing agriculture was superb. MAWP concept was very well constructed. Mentions of engineering disciplines throughout. Illustrations really helped overall understanding of concepts and innovations. Organizational structure & flow was difficult to follow. Innovation and futurism very much the shining jewel in this submission. |

There is an incredible spread of future innovations and technology growth in this essay. There is clearly a lot of research put into this. Great job including so many examples. Make sure you're double checking spelling in these cases, misspellings of "moment-resisting framing" was distracting.
While writing your essay, focus on the flow of ideas and integration of this tech into citizens' daily lives. The essay could feel over-technical at times and spent most of the word count explaining the technology. Though, I appreciate the lesson because I learned a lot.
Loved the attention to detail on naming centers such as Austin Riley Autism Center and Richard Peter Physical Therapy Center. |

Well-structured essay with good technical detail and problem-solving focus. Would like to see details around supporting the tourism industry - e.g. international airport, port facilities to connect New Male to any surviving islands/neighbouring countries, aquarium, etc. (or a data-driven projection that other industries will supplant tourism as the key economic driver). Mentioning the use of methods similar to the relocation of Abu Simbel in Egypt during the Aswan Dam construction may strengthen/validate the plan to relocate mosques or other historically significant structures on different islands (e.g. Laamu Isdhoo) to New Male. One or two sentences don't read well (e.g. 2nd sentence in 2nd paragraph, etc). It wasn't clear how the greenspaces would be barriers between residential and tourist areas - wouldn't these be shared spaces enjoyed by both residents and visitors? Overall, a solid effort. |

Overall a well-defined future city! Great discussion on novel energy production methods and closed-loop systems to minimize waste generation. The descriptions of what the engineering teams would do was very limited though; I would expand a bit to elaborate what each one would contribute. Further, while the graphics added a lot of context, I did not see a single reference cited. |

The continuous assessment of risk is very valuable to your essay and reflects a common skill needed in all engineering roles. You're clearly taking steps to account for issues that may come up.
Your visuals are well thought out and visually pleasing. Underwater Components is a great visual, but I would be careful using arrows to connect all instances. I think some are applicable but not all arrows are describing a real relationship of input and output.
Great job marketing your product to future citizens. You clearly kept the locals needs and worries in mind while designing the city. Your design helps keep them comfortable while continuing their culture in their transition to living in your city. |

Excellent detail on material science and energy infrastructure. Impressively the energy infrastructure seems right sized for the population and use case. Could use more detail on background history from sea level rise, and drone monitoring system for damage and repair. Note that 20,000 residents is less a city so much as a research outpost. Not all jobs are STEM-based 🙂 Graphics were hard to read. References are impressively extensive. |

Extraordinary work! The future tech of fission reactors and quantum mag-lev was great. I really appreciated the city layout graphic as it helped me to better understand the specifics. This was a well thought out city, even including the specifics of how the government operated. I was very impressed! The only notable point reduction for me was on the Effects of Sea Level Rise BEFORE Development, where I thought the description was a bit light. Other than that, fantastic work. |

Great job overall. Good ideas and explanations of technologies - extrapolating current technologies into the future. Good analysis and discussion of spread of people in jobs and city population. Good initial thinking of how to use the environment to your advantage but could use some development. A little bit of work on paragraph structure (PEEL paragraphs) and sentence length would be beneficial. |

1. Great job on the city basics. 2. There is mention of culture in the city, but needs more description on the culture. There is great information on the jobs and housing. 3. The paragraph on modes of transportation has good information, but it's choppy and hard to read. There are incomplete sentences and left me guessing what some of it was saying. Great information on the agriculture. 4. There was a clear explanation of the education and healthcare system. 5. There were some city innovation and futuristic elements there and stated but more of a mention of things rather than an explanation of how it works in the city. Great ideas, next time elaborate a little more. 6. The sea level rising is stated that it was an issue before the development of floating cities, but there is really no explanation or information provided that explains how it affected them. It was a great lead in for a need of floating cities, just provide more information next time as to how rising sea levels affects the city and residents. 7. Great information for the design and function. 8. Great environmental impact statements. 9 & 10. I can get one Innovative and Futuristic Example from this and the second seemed more of a benefit of a floating city rather than Innovative and Futuristic. 11. Good benefits listed, no risks or compromises. 12. Great description of Engineering role. 12-14. Organization and grammar/spelling needs reviewed. I did not see an interview with the relevant person. |

The essay delivered a good description of the city of Neeraja! I liked the multiple examples of the futuristic technologies that are being used in the floating city. And I also appreciated the exact coordinates of the location. It would have been exciting to learn more details about a few of the technological advances that made some of these great inventions possible. |

A good essay: provided satisfactory solutions and reasoning. More details on the hex design -- material, thickness, and benefits thereof -- would add to the innovation discussion. A 2nd innovation and risks/tradeoffs of a floating city are underdeveloped. The repetition of some information (e.g., the hex size and general purpose) is not relevant to the paragraph. A couple of run-on sentences should be split into two. |

Team Huron Harbor provides a good level of detail to describe their futuristic and innovative solutions. Their thoughtful analysis of the impacts of life on a floating city provision for challenges from multiple perspectives. Their chameleon car is especially creative as an outlet for individual citizen expression. Using basic essay structure guidelines is an improvement that could help improve writing organization and clarity. |

Overall, I thought this was a great essay. I think some of the technology used in the paper is technology of today so maybe it could have been a little more advanced, but once you were describing the Innovative and Futuristic issues that the city addressed, the advancement of the technology concepts used increased. I thought this was well thought out and written. Great job! |

Very technically precise writing with thoughtful word choice. I am unsure where the city is actually located other than a "strategic location." References missing although an interview with urban planners is mentioned. No word count mentioned.
I would love to be able to picture what my family and myself would be doing in daily life and did not really get a feel for it. |

I think the ideas in this essay are great - a more developed description of the city and it's population would have been beneficial in people able to picture what the city would actually look like. Also, part of the rubric was to include the information about references and word count etc. . . don't throw away easy points! While there was some room for improvement, there is a solid foundation of understanding to build on. |

Missed multiple topics required in the prompt, such as city life, function of the floating city and infrastructure (utilities, communication), to name a few. Lacked sufficient detail and research. No sources included with essay. Frequently made generalized or lofty statements without explaining how to achieve. Example) "The goal is to create a thriving industrial hub... while minimizing environmental impacts." How are you minimizing environmental impacts while maintaining efficiency? What are the pros/cons of industrial sustainability? How do you overcome these challenges? Innovations mentioned lacked originality. Solar and hydropower are already being used in today's society, as is building houses in hurricane and flood prone areas on stilts. Lastly, recommend you do not use first person in academic essays. |

The narrative starts with an already perfect city and there seems to be no need for a ne floating city. Concepts of infrastructure, off-shore structure and alternative energy sources have been given some thought. Overall the problem is not defined and a need for solution for a problem that does not exist is not clear. |

Great ideas but need further explanation of how they will be accomplished and what technology you will leverage to accomplish these goals. Your concern for citizen's physical and mental health is very valuable. What kind of healthcare technology are you interested in continuing to use or develop in the future through your plan?
I would recommend writing your essay while keeping this rubric handy and check off parts as you go. Consider asking your peers or leadership to proof-read your essay and have them keep the rubric in mind, as well.
It sounds like you probably did some good research to help you estimate population, square-feet per citizen, and gallons used in a day. Just don't forget to cite it.
I can't wait to see what you come up with for next year! |

Great concept! Several details were nice such as transportation and police. Areas missing are graphics, advanced technology, what continental area it would be located in, impact of power and what it was before the fusion reactor. A concern is also for salinized water. Missing are references of your research as well. Great concept, I love the 3 levels. Hint: Always use a rubric as a checklist so you do not miss parts and lose points from it. Nice job overall. Interesting city concept. |

The city essay represents very interesting picture of future city located nearby Sardinia. This location brings additional benefits of great weather, lower risks regarding sea storms and southern people culture of healthy life. I like the city description and ideas that were used here. Maybe one small comment to jobs and infrastructure- if this would be floating city, I'm wondering how would be mining implemented here? From the other hand, mining is known for negative impact on environment and needs huge area for it, on island it could be problematic, if it is built of steel also. I love the rainwater drainage system idea. Nowadays it is great source of extra water. You have great imagination and sense of engineering. Do not stop, Great job! Good luck. 😉 |

The aspect of homage to ancient Venice was well-described throughout the essay and provided an interesting and intriguing basis for the city. The most impressive futuristic elements were the tidal power and storm control (although the description of the storm control system needed more detail about the effect of the initial problem and how the solution was implemented); most of the other design components do not go far beyond what is possible today, but they are combined into a well-described and exciting solution.
The environmental effects that prompted the creation of this city were only briefly mentioned with no detail.
The reference list was extensive and well-documented.
The essay organization and writing are impressive - clear and logically organized. A few illustrations (e.g. a plot plan showing the concentric city zones and canal system, a vision of the gondolas, layout of the grid system including the tidal power turbines and pontoon anchors) would have provided breaks in the text and enhanced the picture of the city in the reader's mind. |

I think there was a good foundation for a future city presented, but it was missing a lot of relevant details. The kinetic energy tiles were a neat technology infused into the city; I think more futuristic elements like that and a bit more cohesive understanding of city services would have improved the essay. For instance, how would a city with population of 15,000, over of half of which are university students or staff look and operate much differently than a more traditional city? That only leaves 7,000 people to do everything else. |

1 - City description could be a bit more detailed, I struggled to envision what Neomar actually looked like.
2 - Excellent job taking into consideration less able-bodied people though could elaborate on "special perks" provided to them as it is unclear. Job descriptions were fairly vague.
3 and 4- Great description of transportation options and use of piezoelectric tiles! Good description of sanitation/waste removal approaches
5- Essay could have provided a more detailed explanation of why the technologies used are innovated and futuristic.
6 - no comments, requirements met
7 - Descriptions of shape and material were good though the size of the city seems a little too small for all of the infrastructure described
8 - Essay describes both positive and negative impacts though could provide more detail on how industrial waste is handled.
9 - anchoring, explanation of why it is innovative or futuristic could have been more detailed and how they function
10 - artificial shoreline, good level of detail
11 - no real in depth analysis of risks/trade offs
12 - Essay mentions engineering disciplines but does not describe them or their different responsibilities
13 - Organization mostly makes sense but was a little confusing at times, despite the titles
14 - some run on sentences but otherwise well written
15 - interview should have been cited in references as well |

Excellent ideas! Well written and thought out. Thorough research and write up on the innovative ideas. The paper lists clear and positive benefits for this new city. The technical content for creation of the city and how it will be maintained is both innovative and creative! Well done.
I'd love to hear more about the trade offs or compromises that might occur when creating and living in this city. I also would be interested to know more about the daily lives of the people in the city, how they live, what they do for fun, what types of jobs they may have, etc. The location being so close to Aruba, would tourism have an impact on this city?
A general suggestion -- in your references section, could you please include journal/magazine names, issues numbers and/or URL links for articles available on blogs or websites?
Great job overall! A fun and exciting read. I'd live there! |

I felt the content did jump around a bit. Headings would have helped guide me to know what to expect. I did not see in the citations any interviews with an actual person. I believe that was a requirement. I did not see any information about how the floating city would be able to stay in one place. If it is just floating, I would imagine it should be tied to something? Some very creative ideas for the future, in regard to technology. I would have liked to know how AI is actually going to be set up and in charge of so many things, many critical. Wish this section on AI could have provided a bit more detail. Felt like it was an easy solution to just state 'AI' will do it. |

The narrative missed the risks, and trade-offs, a small section providing more information on what are the downsides to life on this floating city would have been fulfilled the requirement for that portion of your essay.
Otherwise this is a very interesting city, well thought out, the team did a very good job on researching technologies, etc. |

Excellent job. What really stood out for me, besides how articulate this was, the technologies in your city such as holographic radio, AR-video, genome editing, VR Based rehab, taxi drones, and self sensing concrete. It was very smart to use mangroves and innovative to make underground apartments instead of high rises. Your attention to water movement is extensive as well. Very well written in structure and in content. You went over the word count by just a tiny bit and did not interview a person for a source but, other than that, this was exceptional. |

Excellent layout and organization. Great that you have several engineers that you called upon to comment on your idea. I feel the one area that was really lacking was the effects on the water and marine life. During Covid, the waters in Venice become clearer and some sea life began to re-emerge. With the reliance so heavily on the water ways, I wish you would have addressed how your plan could midgait some of these issues. Boats can cause danger to sea life creatures (one example). Very good graphics, they helped tell the story/sell your idea. Shipping Container for food growth/production is very creative as well as the flying car. |

This future city design concept is both fascinating and full of potential. The blend of floating structures, vertical farming, and floating life pods is impressively thought out. However, the proposed ten-foot walls are a point of concern during have rains as this would resemble more of a floating pool than a floating city. In addition, the walls would make the space within the city feel smaller and constricted. |

La Tortuga has a lot of great concepts. Use of the words: resilient, balanced, alleviates, lifestyle pace, organic, zero-waste, etc. were excellent word choices to include for strong cases of support of the sections where these were included. The idea behind the strength and design of a turtle (shell et al) is clever and something that is relatable. For each section of the essay to use the parts of the turtle to identify location, proximity, and explanation was a great way to reveal the key elements of the city. What your model lacked in detail, your essay made up for in well thought out ideas and development. |

The team did a good job describing the shape of the city but not the size of each zone, the distance of travel between zones, or the population that can live in the city. The urban district did not describe the population density or how that would change the need for goods and services compared to the rural district. Details on how the innovative designs would impact the environment were minimal. It was not clearly defined the roles of different engineering disciplines on the project. |

The idea of the floating city next to New York is a great idea, however it is not well developed and missing some important details that could add to the whole idea (Population, utilities...). Some pictures and illustrations could have helped portray some of the suggestions mentioned for example no mention of the size and shape of Aeolia. In addition, not enough details are mentioned when it comes to the Biorock.
Lastly, no references were mentioned nor is there a clear interview with an engineer, technician...

This is a great start with some innovative ideas! Excellent background on why this is an issue, and very clever ideas of using newer technologies like biorock and vertical farming to help make the city more sustainable.
Please add references in a future version, and don't be afraid to elaborate more on additional cultural or entertainment offerings, transportation options and job offerings for the residents of this city. What would a day in the life of the average citizen look like in this city, outside of going to the parks? Where would they work and shop? What would their housing look like? How would they get around?
Thanks for the submission! |

I liked the "big picture" concepts presented in this essay. The implementation of renewable energies, sustainability, and reduction of carbon footprint are all described well. Where it falls short is going into more in-depth details on how all of these ideas would be implemented and whether there are any drawbacks (costs, environmental impact of manufacturing solar panels and batteries, etc.). There is no consideration of whether these clean energy solutions would be sufficient to power a city with 7500 people. There is no mention of how much resources and cost will be needed to house just 7500 people, when Copenhagen is a city with over 600,000 people. We can say we would implement new technologies and make a new and better city, but it all comes at a cost and the resources available. Future engineers must take into consideration the trade-offs of such an ambitious project and anticipate potential issues. More thought and consideration are needed in each of the critical design elements that were selected (Why hexagonal islands? What happens to the solar energy when there is minimal sunlight during the winter months? How reliable will the energy grid supported by batteries be under very cold winter conditions?). Perhaps not all arguments could be presented in great detail, but there needs to be some evidence of trade studies that took place. |

While there is substantial discussion of many aspects of life in this city, recreation and leisure not related to culture are conspicuously absent.
Some aspects of infrastructure are well-described but communication and land-based transportation are both missing.
Discussion of city services is inadequate, with almost no description of education, healthcare, fire protection, public transport on land, etc.
Monitoring of structural integrity, which is important for a floating city, is mentioned more than once, but no solution or response if issues are noted is described.
The description of the design and function of the pillars and aerogels that provide floatation is brief but effective.
The algae-based bioelectricity system is intriguing and innovative - specific discussion of how it fits with the floating city is missing. The second innovative solution related to a smart monitoring system does not appear particularly innovative or futuristic as currently described.
The description of risks, compromises, and trade-offs could have been enhanced by including benefits of marine growth on the pillars, which could possibly include the algae required for electricity production. The analysis and suggested mitigation for the space limitation is insufficient, as storage of materials in the seaport would not significantly increase space for population growth.
The organizational strategy of the essay is not optimal - it seems to jump around with no logical thought path. |

City Basics - discussion regarding population growth would make this a stronger item.
City Life - what do the residents do for fun? Cultural aspects were addressed. Are public parks included in the city? Do residents play sports, go to sporting events? Soccer seems to be a popular Vietnam sport.
City Infrastructure - What is the source of fresh water? How is sanitary and stormwater managed?
Engineers - more robust discussion regarding the role of an engineer would make this a stronger item
Design - Is there any redundency incorporated between the various islands? What if the power production island fails? |

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this essay. It was well written and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the design, functionality and innovation behind the design floating city. I enjoyed reading how a city that values sustainability was reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and integrating, renewable energy into urban life. I like the idea of harnessing algae for bio electricity! to further enhance the essay and boost its credibility incorporating more quantifiable data and exploring long-term risks and critically assessing the feasibility of proposed innovations would be valuable additions. Excellent work! |

I love that the city is an evolution of a well-known city: Venice. Some trade-offs of "future-Venice" are explored. Really good explanation of how the design has maintained culture of the city. I am missing how Venice might have been affected before the innovations were implemented. The city infrastructure (hydraulic platforms, electric gondolas, and floating sidewalks) are all well thought out. There is some description of how city services have evolved. I understand that industrial zones were transformed to accommodate necessary city functions like desalination. The plan for a circular economy around the need for fresh water was really complete. I am missing description of the professionals that support the city's form and function. Some more description of their expertise, background, and impact would be really neat. |

The team has done a great job by describing the innovative and advanced approach to a floating city. This includes Hydraulic platforms, hydrokinetic turbines and their description like self-sustaining network, desalination plants, and public lighting technologies. The economic sustainability has also been described in brief.
The essay has a great scope of improvement, where the economic sustainability with respect to the citizens and tourists could have been described in detail. The general life before and after the new city development is missing. The risks and the risk response required details for the projects sustainability.
As a whole the first essay of the document submitted was organized and missing the headings of the sections. However, the submission contained a document containing 5 essays altogether with headings like "final final", "Final", "Rough Draft" and other pre-writing materials. The citation was poor and did not contain any technical interview. |

Excellent introductory description of the issue as well as pros/cons of floating city as a solution. Description of innovative "whale" residence was awesome. Excellent high-level description of CSA solution supported with helpful illustrations. Unfortunate grammatical error in very first sentence. Switched between present & future tense was distracting.

Well done 'The Philliposophers'. Good team name and good city name 'The Amphibian'.
Well researched essay with lot of details, some of it imaginative. Definitely futuristic (filtered lungs; longer feet with webbed toes). Thought about lot of aspects (self-sustained vertical/terraced farming using warm currents and humid climate, space and energy efficient hexagonal buildings, education, training, recreation, government, currency, transportation using underground ocean currents). Looked at both positive and negative effects of the chosen designs. All these were good traits of the essay.
The layout graphic could be neater. 'Engineering Disciplines Involved and Roles of Engineers' aspect of rubric was not clearly addressed. One reference had to be 'an interview with an engineer or a technician'.
There was a little bit issue with expression. The part of sentence '...is descended from a 3000 Japanese family...' was not clear. However I didn't penalize you for that.
As a suggestion, you could be more organized and methodical following the rubric. Teams with organized, methodical essay performed better.
Again well done 'The Philliposophers'! Keep following your dreams of doing good in STEM field!! |

Conceptually a satisfactory plan. Additional detail and descriptions regarding infrastructure, city life, city services as well as more robust description of Environmental Impacts would make this a stronger essay. Essay is under word count limit and consider examining the efficiency of words used for references, such as 'National Geographic explains...'. I liked the conceptual design of the City and general idea. I would like to know more how the City functions, such as fresh water source (have the inhabitants water requirements also evolved), sanitary drainage systems, storm water drainage systems, electrical systems, are there sporting / recreational facilities. |

This essay provides a solid foundation and covers many aspects of a floating city concept. The location and benefits of the city are detailed and the technology is innovative. However, some areas could be expanded, such as a clear idea of the engineering disciplines, their roles, and city culture. |

Nice design for the city. Feedback: while the essay answered the questions with nice descriptions, would have been good to get some detail. For example, the essay says "The city is resilient to climate change and extreme weather conditions..." Would have been good to have details about how and why the city is resilient to these two factors.
- I wondered a few times of the text was AI generated. I'd suggest being more concrete with facts and examples.
- In different places you mention that Nymur is organized into 7 districts, then six districts is mentioned, as well as 8 districts.
- Great ideas and explanation on how energy is captured and stored.

The team has taken considerable effort in researching the subject in depth and highlighting very relevant aspects of innovation, sustainability, and advanced technology that goes into the building, populating, and maintaining a thriving floating city. However, things like mentioning a reference source (Katherine Dafforn) cited twice, not adding a blank line between the references, incorrectly spelling the name of the city in one instance, and not citing an interview (manadatory reference) adversly impacts the othervise good effort in writing this essay, and loss of marks that could be avoided. Further, inconsistency in the essay such as mention of seven, six, and eight districts in three separate locations in the essay leads the reader to question the credibility of the content, despite a multitude of very relevant references studied and cited by the team. |

The team menyions about some innovative and sustainable technologies. It would have more impact if at least some of these were explained in details and benefits compared with other or conventiuonal options. There are some incorrect facts, for example steel can rust, and aerogel has more use as an insulator, rather than additive in metals to prevent rust, and not being connected with the mainland is not a necessary reason for import. The absences of these errors, and being consistent and connecting difefrent sections (for example, mention about horse riding or horse racing as a sport when "Farrier" is mentioned as a profession) could have further enhanced the positive impact that a floating city could have on sustainability, and health, as described. Lastly, "A picture is worth thousand words" - so all 4 allowed graphics should have been used. |

2. Comprehensive coverage of infrastructure, resident life, and environmental protection.
3. Clear structure, fluent writing, and appropriate use of references and graphics.
Areas for Improvement:
1. Analysis of risks and trade-offs is brief and lacks depth.
2. Descriptions of city basics and daily life could be more specific.
Overall:
A strong essay showcasing sustainable urban development, but deeper analysis in some areas would enhance its impact. |

This essay provides a good outline of the floating city design. It contains some details of various design elements to help the city withstand typhoons and harsh environmental conditions. There are some good ideas of how to improve people's lives through the use of technologies (e.g., robots and AI) and advanced infrastructures (3D-printed trees, glass films to insulate buildings and vehicles, etc.).
However, there are some major shortcomings to this essay. There are no realistic details of how any of this will be built and what resources and costs will be needed to support just 2300 residents. There are a lot of details on how waste would be treated, but no real details on whether wind and solar energies will be sufficient to power the city, particularly if any of those structures are damaged by the annual typhoon season. Would there be any backup power? How much margin would you need to store enough energy in the VRB batteries? Why did you select VRB batteries over Li-ion or solid-state battery? Most of the essay glosses over important details and does not provide much information on the trade studies done to design this city. |

You paint a clear picture of this city, its population and infrastructure, but I am missing some concrete examples of how this all comes to fruition. I love the approach to transforming waste into energy. I'd love to hear more about the technologies that allow you to recycle human and livestock waste. You nailed the need for innovative building materials. Can you tell me more about materials that exist that might work? |

Overall fair effort, could have used more attention to detail to the rubric guidelines and more specifics into the included ideas. The essay felt incomplete at times with lack of detail into the city population, daily life & size, the effects to the sea level to citizens before the city was constructed, storm protection, mitigating negative environmental impacts and the works citied. The ideas were mostly there but lacked detail and had some gaps with the rubric. |

There were a lot of areas addressed in the essay that begin to construct the feasibility of the design concepts. There were areas of the essay that could have been expounded upon. For example, the ?Commercial Zones? section was very brief and details and dynamic word usage would have helped the reviewers to better visualize these innovations. The use of the word ?amenities? to describe schools and hospitals was a surprise and the equidistant aspect for their location would have been an opportunity to indicate the attempt for equitable access and opportunity. The sustainability sections were intuitive and added to the city?s relevance. Hydropolis touches on components of an ideal city floating or otherwise- and I appreciate your thoughts and ideas in your creation. |

Well-organized essay with some interesting details and perspectives. Enjoyable to read. It may be helpful to describe the technology used to purify/desalinate drinking water, and whether there will be any water storage facilities for contingencies (e.g. pump failure). References weren't listed? Graphic on page 2 helped to show the shape of the island but lacked detail and labelling. Is the only access via ship (i.e. no airstrip)? In addition to describing the role of civil and environmental engineers, their involvement could be more directly tied to specific technical solutions (e.g. biorock and the pillars on which the city will sit). |

Overall fair effort. Plentiful description of the city population, how it operates and the infrastructure. Lacks detail relating to environmental risks and innovation. Essay would have benefited from using some titles to split up sections and having smaller more focused paragraphs rather than just large pages of text. Nor works cited. Would have benefited with more attention to detail of rubric. |

The range of benefits and positive aspects of this city and community is impressive and well described - the focus on various forms of waste management is especially intriguing. It would have helped to highlight two innovative and futuristic examples with slightly more detail to answer the required questions.
The figures require titles to clarify where they relate to the essay.
More details concerning the "adaptable anchoring systems" are required.
The discussion of Risk, Compromises, and Trade-offs is insufficient: The assessment and analysis is too brief and more specific mitigation plans are required.
The organization strategy of the essay is unclear - it is a series of paragraphs with little logical connection.
There are several grammatical errors including spelling and punctuation mistakes.
No personal interview with an engineer or other relevant person is evident in the reference list.

1-6: Essay had a clear description of where the city was located, its population, and the benefits of it. Writers did an extensive and detailed job articulating all aspects of the floating city - culture, available jobs, housing, transportation mechanisms, education, and waste management. Team also did a fantastic job pulling many different kinds of innovative and futuristic technologies in a reasonable and fairly realistic way. Description of location before floating city articulated well the impacts of rising sea levels.
7-12: Essay size and shape is well explained, easy into envision, and is reasonable. Positive and negative impacts were outlined well though more detailed mitigations against cyber attacks could have been discussed. Furthermore a more detailed analysis of the compromises/tradeoffs of the floating island would have added depth. The examples of futuristic and innovative elements on the floating island were excellently discussed and their impact well explained. Excellent detailed description of the various engineering roles and contributions.
13-15: Essay is very well written, clear and easy to understand. The organization is easy to follow and makes sense. |

Excellent introduction of the city problem definition. I would have like to have seen more details on the positive impacts and how the negative impacts are mitigated. Essay is lacking more details on innovate and futuristic examples. Section IV Solution could have been expanded more - which was only 1/2 page to 3/4 of a page compared to 3 pages of Introduction. Finally I didn't read anything referencing the role of engineers in the design. |

Overall good work. The citizens of Inkapore will definitely be at the forefront of technological advancement. It would have been great to see a more in depth analysis on the risks involved with using a nuclear reactor as the city's main if not only power source. I think that issue of food availability was well thought out, the vertical farms are a great idea and I would love to see city incorporate this in our current time to supplement our current agricultural state. |

Ikanpore sounds lovely, but I would have like to learn more about the day-to-day life and activities of the people. What about parks, animals, sports? Also, many residents are engineers, but are there teachers, gardeners, carpenters, etc.? With much of the activity in the city focused on engineering and technology, are there artists and musicians? |

Well thought-out description and good design. Good description of innovations and life in Denda. One step you might do is find a personal interview with a city engineer to go over pros and cons - or see what areas are missing. |

Disproportionate detail was placed on materials and energy infrastructure. This rocks, but it means that TideFlux doesn?t feel much like a city. I don?t know what would do if I lived there, short of maintaining physical infrastructure. |

The essay is succinct and does a good job explaining the organization, infrastructure and specific zones of the city. Per the rubric provided, students could have elaborated on the effect of sea level rise before Floptropica was established. Essay fails to identify or describe the role of engineers. No graphical aids nor references were provided. Word count was not identified. While the essay does a good job of describing the floating city, it does not adhere very closely to the items identified in the rubric. Good job overall! |

This must have taken a skilled modelling engineer. Some angles are complex and building textures and windows grids provide good details.
The essay provided a lot of interesting technology that I unfortunately didn't see modelled. Make sure to save time to tie the model and the essay together. |

Absolutely amazing job overall. Your model covers a large variety of needs of your city and sustainability is clearly woven into all facets. The repetition of either 6-sided or 3-sided structures ties into the hexagon shape of the islands nicely. I think the library being a 5 sided building is a creative and daring touch. Dare to learn!
Continue to consider citizens' lives and what kind of pressure daily commutes will put on your transportation system. Are elevators to the lower levels centralized for workers or placed next to the busing stations? How are farmers getting around on the Special zones or Agricultural zones?

This model om general clearly represents the vision of this city from above the surface, but no image of the subsurface facilities are shown.
Some of the image groupings are not ideal, e.g. Parks should be in City Services rather than Infrastructure.
The transportation modes of gondolas, walking, and commercial boats are pictured in the model images but not highlighted adequately.
The scale is somewhat problematic, as the essay indicates that the city spans 4 miles - a distance that should contain far more buildings than is shown in the model, i.e. the building scale is far more zoomed in than the city scale.
None of the futuristic technologies described in the essay (cloud seeding, tidal, power, solar glass, floatation system, algae waste management, etc.) are shown in the model.

The basic design of this floating city is conveyed by the model, and the scale seems reasonable, but it is not clear what some of the structures are or what their purpose is.
While the pillars are displayed, the aerogels that provide the floatation are not shown.
City services are not clearly shown or identified in the model. Transportation methods are also not clearly shown or identified.
None of your futuristic examples (algae-based energy production, smart monitoring network, floatation system, etc.) are shown in the model.

Since each hexagon is meant to be self-supporting, it is possible that the model could use a single hexagon to represent this city, but it is not labeled or of sufficient size to clearly demonstrate any of the required elements, and a single image is clearly inadequate. |

The Model is futuristic and has been thought about with a advanced technology.
However, the depiction of the model could have been in a better way. The team has selected colors which is not contrast with the overlapping letters in the model. Moreover, the sustainability depiction is missing even when the functionality was evident.
There is a room for improvement in the areas of sustainable future and city life. |

The model itself lacks any annotations or guides to help the reviewer. It is difficult to tell what the diagram is showing and some of the islands appear incomplete. The essay talked about building structures that are no more than five stories high and, yet, there are buildings that appear higher than five stories in the diagram. Labels/legend would be very useful in explaining the diagram. It is also unclear why the idea of separate islands is better than one big city - it seems like it makes it more difficult and costly to transport goods, people, and energy amongst the multiple islands. What is reason to make the islands hexagonal? There needs to be more purposeful design and more thought in why specific design elements were selected. |

The Chiwit Thailand model is a compelling representation of a sustainable floating city. It creatively integrates environmental sustainability, innovative infrastructure, and futuristic solutions, addressing key needs for residents and preserving marine ecosystems. However, more detailed explanations of zoning and city services could enhance clarity and completeness. The visual and structural designs are well-conceived and demonstrate a high level of thought and innovation. |

Looks like you guys didn't have time for the model.
You did address 'City-Zoning'; 'City-Services'; 'City-Design'; and 'Appearance'.
Somewhat addressed 'Model demonstrates Theme'
Touched on 'Application of futuristic, advanced technologies'; 'Overall Innovation'; and 'Model effectiveness'
Next time please try to spend more time on the model.
Please keep following your dreams to do well in STEM! |

The planning was thought out, however, I had trouble understanding the scales of the various development of the city, also a bit more distinction of areas with different colors would be good. One service and aspect to life in this city was healthcare and wellness of the citizens. |

Your model shows types of living spaces, recreation areas, and restaurants. Most of the living spaces appear to be apartment type housing. Does anyone live in their own home? It does not show any schools, libraries, business places, police department, fire and ambulance services, or medical facilities. It is also not clear if people drive electric or gas powered cars, take busses or any kind of transportation such as a subway. Although there is an air strip it is not clear how people get there. How many people live here. Is this a self-sustained community or does it depend on any outside resources. |

Scale seemed to vary, one example is ships are bigger than the stadium. Different transportation methods were not easily discernable. Variety of buildings was good, but function and purpose of some elements is hard to figure out. Could have used some explanation text along with the model and only a couple of colors were used. |

Water treatment center clearly depicted, logically placed in city center and connected via bridges to other city zones. Transport pods also shown, though it was slightly harder to get a feel of how they worked from this method of presentation. It was nice to see that the city was floating yet the areas were connected to give it a definable boundary. The peaked, greenery-covered roofs gave the aesthetic feel of a mountain range, a nice touch. Very nice standalone representation of this floating city! |

City layout incorporated mixed zones throughout ensuring easy access to each type of zone from various points. Multiple, varied design structures depicted with excellent detail, realistic colors and contours. Transport boats looked detailed and plentiful. It was somewhat difficult to discern which structure was the hospital. The dragon-shaped structures at the city edge were beautiful, but their purpose wasn't entirely clear. |

Loved the different types of high rise and creativity is clearly visible. I would have loved to see the drone transportation depicted in your model as well seen more detail on your vertical farms. Overall, I think this model looks great and that you managed to fit a lot of variety given the amount of space. |

Very detailed. Love the community space. Would love to see more interaction or mixed areas. Transportation is not clear in the model. The shape of each area is cool. But they do not look connected to eachother in the models. More futuristic looking buildings would have scored a bit more points. |

The model clearly demonstrates urban planning and the characteristics of a floating city, effectively showcasing how the city serves its residents. However, it would be even better if there were more detailed explanations of the technical methods or structures that enable the floating city to stay afloat. |

The model helped provide some additional context that I didn't get from reading the essay. I think transportation logistics may be challenging in that layout; for instance, if someone lives in the far corner of the island, they may have a pretty long commute. I liked the use of different buildings in the model; they helped illustrate the various architectures. |

I'm really curious about how you selected the city's shape. Is there an engineering advantage to this shape? Your zones are very clear and I love the hexagonal organization - it makes the opportunity for types of infrastructure and needs in each zone really clear. I do see opportunity for agriculture, and buildings directly tied to city needs (like school, heathcare), but I am just guessing. Consider labeling what each zone and building is. |

The model does not demonstrate this being a floating city. It shows normal black and white images of buildings but nothing futuristic appears. The only real difference between any of the images is shape, but they are all "expandable and modular". It does provide any insight on the transportation or recreational options within the city. Everything is in black and white so it does not appear realistic. Recommendation for next time would be to include how this functions on the water, the zoning for the different areas - residential, industrial, commercial, and provide how the transportation works for the city. It would be beneficial to highlight more of the futuristic technology that is utilized by the floating city. |

Overall really nice model. I can tell the amount of time that went into creating this. The model needed a little more attention to detail in the following areas: showing transportation including the connections between parts of the city which are currently just large white/green blank spaces, and including labeling. This model would have significantly benefited from labels highlighting what certain areas were and how the city operated there. |

Unfortunate representation of the city that was talked about in the essay. There was little to no details shown, all besides some rectangles and mixed match shapes. Was very hard to make out any of the infrastructure. Overall felt like a preliminary map out in a sense of the city and not the complete finished model. |

The incorporation of the idea of La Tortuga into the design and core of the city is innovative and speaks to the importance of the human-nature connection envisioned for this community. There could be a little more exposition about the physical construction of the floating system and engineering behind that. The description of food, waste, and energy systems provide good detail for futuristic needs and sustainable options. Remember to always spell out any acronyms (ie. HDPE as high density polyethylene) before you abbreviate them. Overall, a great concept with research on sustainable technologies throughout! |

Three images submitted. As a standalone CAD model, it is a well done rendering but without any descriptions, it is impossible to discern any of the innovative city elements. Need a scale measurement on the model. |

I wish a little more time had been spent on thinking of how to integrate the transportation and possibly making the city more attractive. The essay was very strong - possibly next year with a little more experience the model will be more attractive. I like to think of it as a real estate ad - would you want to live in a city that has no color or green space? I do appreciate the architectural pieces that are circular or oval and add visual appeal. |

This model is really cool, very nice job putting it together. It appears to match well with the team's write up about the city, and it is clear the team has a good grasp on the software used to create the model.
That said, if I hadn't have read team's city write up first, I would have missed out on a lot of the cool features of the city, as they weren't specifically identified in this picture model. Don't be afraid to include more labels in the graphics or more detailed captions to identify all the different and unique components of the city, along with modes of transportation, types of buildings or special energy features, which can showcase some of the other technology features and benefits to this future city discussed in the written portion. It might also be interesting to show a side view that includes both underwater and above water to showcase your ideas on how the city would be built.
Nice job again in creating something that looks very professional! |

Nice job with the drawings, both computer generated and hand drawn. They both showcase a clean look and feel, and do an excellent job showcasing the city from front, side, top and 3D views. The hand drawn elevation views of the buildings show a clear use of several different exciting technologies that would provide sustainability in a future floating city. Great job including that level of detail.
For the future, I would appreciate seeing more text labels or detailed captains in the model screenshots to explain more about the different types of buildings, infrastructure or city services, transportation options and land types in the drawings. The team write up had lots of additional information about the city that I can't see identified in this model.
Thanks for letting me view the submission! Keep up the good work. |

In general the model displays a representation of a city with some essential elements for city life. This needs to be strengthened by including elements essential to the theme by making it clear that this is a floating city and by integrating more futuristic and innovative tech and materials. |

There were not enough pictures that show extensively all the parts of the city. What is depicted is of a good quality. There were many things that did not get depicted. I felt like something was missing and I needed to see more. Some of the things I did see, I wasn't sure what I was looking at, and had to guess. |

1 - a little difficult to distinguish the purposes of the different zones via the over view, a more detailed legend would have helped make the overview and the images that followed more clear
4 - only shows one mode of transportation within the city
7 - A circular design on the ocean is really smart as it helps guide waves around it instead of any square or sharp cornered platforms which would break waves!
8 - Model could have included some flora/fauna/land scape elements
9 - no scale used
10 - it is unclear what the futuristic/advanced technologies are in the model
11 - it is unclear the innovation in the model

The idea behind your city model is creative and easily able to visualize. The model score could have been significantly improved with the addition of labels, a key, and more detailed information. While your essay provides valuable context, including these elements alongside the design would have enhanced the overall presentation of your work. Color would have added to the appearance of your model and emphasize depth and expanse of each area of the city. Although your essay included size references, it was difficult to interpret scale in the model. Conceptually your group has come up with clever and innovative ideas for a floating city and if the model had been developed more fully to depict the items in your essay, your model score would have reflected this with additional points. |

Your model was designed well and correlates to the components included in your essay. Labeling the model would have enhanced the model and provided a visual insight into all the variables included in your essay. Having graphics of the overall floating city and the close-up versions, added a lot to your model. The areas that could have been improved in your model include the following areas: infrastructure, transportation, and futuristic technology. It is important to include the details of the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the floating city. Additionally, demonstrating how individuals commute and showcasing the advanced, unique technologies of the city would have answered questions and added to your overall model score. |

The attached model does nothing more than show the "Tortuga" shape that is the theme of the project. There are no descriptions of the habitat zones or even whether people are supposed to live on the surface or within domes. It also does not show scale in which to identify how many people can fit in each zone. The scale also does not clarify how much agriculture is present. |

Very creative approach, well-designed and presented. Does the school include both primary and secondary grades? Include a university (perhaps as part of the Research & Innovation center or Innovation Lab). In which zone will police and fire services be located - government building in industrial zone? There may be a need for specialized vehicles or access ways to allow emergency services to quickly access specific locations on a platform. Nice work! |

The model seemed to be missing labels or a legend so it was difficult to determine precisely what the symbols on the island represented, and which zones were which. Some color contrasting would have helped isolate the specific zones/sectors. The connections (roads, bike paths) between the zones were not clearly represented. The lines and dots on the southern part of the island city weren't clear (could be paths, canals or something else). |

Thank you for your submission and effort. While, per the essay, the future city model demonstrates creativity, it did not meet the outlined criteria for the model submission. I just know that your team has great potential. Focus on showcasing, visually, how the city functions as a cohesive, sustainable system in future submissions. If time is an issue at a minimum clearly defining and labeling residential, commercial, and industrial zones to showcase functionality would be helpful.

Thank you for submitting your futuristic city model. Your team has demonstrated strong creativity and an excellent eye for detail, producing a visually compelling and realistic model. However, the lack of labels and captions makes it challenging to fully understand and evaluate the city?s zoning, infrastructure, and functionality. By adding these elements and focusing on clarity, you can create a model that not only looks impressive but also effectively communicates your vision for a futuristic floating city. Great effort! |

Well done! Gantt charts are a great way to help keep everyone on the same page and ensure the project stays on schedule. Question number two could have been answered more fully for example, risk management (identifying and addressing potential risks). What was your feedback from group members, and how did you incorporate that into your planning? Regularly seek feedback from team members to ensure that you meet expectations and make necessary adjustments. By incorporating feedback loops into your project management process, you would be able to address any issues or concerns promptly and make essential improvements. This open line of communication and willingness to adapt ultimately will lead to a successful project outcome that meets all objectives and exceeds expectations. |

A team project manager could have helped coordinate tasks and keep everyone on track. They could have guided and supported when challenges arose, ensuring the project stayed on schedule. Moving forward, it may be beneficial to consider assigning a project manager for future projects to help streamline the process and address any obstacles that may arise. Overall, the team should be commended for their hard work and dedication in completing the project! |

The essay on Latveria presents a highly imaginative and detailed vision of a futuristic city, showcasing innovative concepts such as stackable hexagonal homes, hydroponic farming towers, and eco-friendly transportation systems. The description of the city's infrastructure, housing, and job opportunities is thorough and engaging, demonstrating a strong grasp of futuristic urban planning. However, the essay lacks critical discussion on the impact of sea-level rise, which is a key requirement of the theme. Additionally, the absence of references and limited analysis of risks and trade-offs weaken the overall argument. To improve, the essay should address environmental challenges, include proper citations, and provide a deeper analysis of potential risks and compromises associated with the city's design. |

Strengths:
The modular hexagonal tile design and use of Biorock materials are innovative and practical, showing a clear understanding of environmental resilience.
The essay does an excellent job describing city life, community cohesion, and transportation systems, making the city feel vibrant and functional.
The writing is clear, with minimal errors, and effectively conveys the vision for the city.
Areas for Improvement:
Innovation & Futuristic Elements: The modular design is strong but not particularly futuristic. Expanding on the role of technology or groundbreaking innovations could elevate the essay.
Environmental Impacts: While the essay highlights some positive impacts, it could provide more depth regarding the environmental consequences of construction and long-term sustainability.
Effects of Sea Level Rise: The historical context of flooding is well-covered, but the mitigation strategies could be more detailed and creative.
This essay stands out for its focus on community and practical urban planning but could push its innovation and environmental considerations further. It is strong overall and engages the reader effectively. |

The team came up with the idea of transmigration that has been tried before, particularly in Indonesia in a large scale. The team should be introduced to the idea. The narrative is more fictional but "based on true events." The team has taken liberties to produce a readable but less practical narrative. |

I found the essay written in a fairly logical order except for the mental health section. The paragraph's closing sentence would have made a better opening sentence as I was confused as to why there was a section on mental health when I first read it. I saw several engineers listed, but their roles could have been expanded. The trade-off section could have used a little more detail - what are the impacts to the sea life from the underwater transportation system? How is the city land use established to be most efficient (mixed-use or separation of industries, etc. |

The report did a good job of describing life of the citizens in the city. It also explained how each of the zones are split and how people will move between zones. They did a good job of describing how the project will impact the environment and what can be done to mitigate those impacts. They also described the specific regions their project would provide shelter for from the impacts of climate change (Fiji and Panama). Although the shape of the city makes sense, it is not clear that they accounted for the size (depth) necessary to keep a platform buoyant with that many buildings. |

1-6: Essay described the city and it's location well, providing details on precise locations (great for vast oceans) and weather patterns was unique! Writers also provided a lot of detail regarding the daily lives and activities of the city's dwellers. They did an excellent job articulating the school system, food systems, health care, transportation, and many other kinds of necessary infrastructure as provided extensive detail on the sustainable and innovative technologies that would be used on the floating city. Writers could have provided more detail on the "before" state of the location.
7-12: The design and function of the floating city are described very well and make sense. The materials and storm mitigations are discussed in detail as well. The examples of futuristic and innovative elements on the floating island were excellently described and their impact well explained. Similarly, the environmental impacts, the risks, tradeoffs, and mitigations table provided an excellent and easy to digest summary. Writers could have elaborated on the different engineer roles responsibilities
13-15: The writing and grammar in the essay is done well though the organization could have been improved to add more flow/connection between paragraphs. Meets graphic, word, and citation requirements. Additionally, all acronyms should be spelled out when first introduced into text. |

Good discussion of the use and need for renewable energy, but surprised that the team did not include wave power, which would seem to be the most obvious first choice for power generation.
Unfortunately, the essay lacks a discussion of the sea level rise that precipitated the need to design and build a floating city. The essay also lacks a word count, and references. |

This paper could use additional details connecting zones and how they function in daily life. I believe there may have been a misunderstanding about Engineering Disciplines, as this paper describes the engineers involved in advising the team rather than the engineering disciplines necessary to build and help the city function. |

This was a great reimagining of Venice mixing the old with new / futuristic components in a floating city concept. This work could be strengthened by providing more details into the gradual effects of sea level rise pre-flood and providing more details on the innovations integrated into the city and transportation and the impacts of a floating city on those integrations in addition to providing a section on tradeoffs with assessments / analyses. Overall, I enjoyed reading about your city and celebrate the team in applying your imagination to create a sustainable futuristic city. |

Integrating the city into a larger city?s infrastructure is a smart idea. Tech is pretty grounded, but not much detail. What is made from the graphene? What stores excess solar energy?
Integrating military structure, but not enough thought goes into what the base actually does for local infrastructure. They wouldn?t necessarily replicate everything 1:1 separately from the rest of the city. |

Overall great essay! Could have used more description into the city services (health care, fire), more detail about the impact on the Philippines prior to the construction of the city, and more detail on the risks and tradeoffs of the city location. The essay also could have benefitted from some more titles to breakup the sections. Otherwise great work with some really interesting innovations (gold start for works cited). |

There are a lot of great concepts that were touched on in the essay. The idea of citizens contributing to a functioning society via the environment and the use of drones to assist with planting, monitoring crops, etc. were great ideas for the city. Other ideas that were indicated as ?resistant to inflation,? ?high-paying jobs? to eliminate homelessness and poverty, and higher tax rates for the wealthy were questionable as the thoughts behind these were not developed. Throughout the essay there were references to the elements of the city that would make it desirable for inhabitants and visitors. However, there are so many questions left unanswered about these pieces to support your case for the viability of Finn City. Your group would have benefited from consulting with references that would have provided valuable insight and in some instances, an explanation for why you make certain choices in development or the feasibility of a concept. The essay complements the model and the graphics, but if the two had answered more questions rather than create additional ones, the score on the essay and the model would have increased substantially. The concepts are there and would have been enhanced by details rather than statements without substance and explanation. Finn City touches on components of an ideal city floating or otherwise- and I appreciate your thoughts and ideas in your creation.

Good organization and incorporation of graphics. It is always good to include a figure title or description associated with any graphic in a report. There are a lot of good ideas showing innovation and sustainability but overall many could use further development. There is a good recognition of the human element of engineering throughout and how the city and people interact and changes that humans would have to adapt to. No references listed. |

Well-written and thoughtful application of the Floating City concept. I would have liked more discussion of risks & trade-offs.
Design & Functionality: Clear description with a good level of detail. However, it does not give dimensions of islands or number needed to support the projected population.
Innovative & Futuristic Example 1: 3D-printed buildings out of recycled plastic and concrete. Clear description with a good level of detail. Futuristic and innovative. Talked about benefits of insulation, however, could have discussed about how siting and design could reduce the demand for air conditioning.
Risks & Trade-offs: General description of two benefits, risks, or trade-offs. Assessment and analysis could be improved. Should have mentioned that the triangularly shaped islands could be positioned into waves (and walls shaped) to lessen the impact of waves. |

Description of the future city in general is very detailed and interesting. Shape of turtle is an innovative design for the city. There is no location pointed as well as population. City life is described mostly regarding jobs and local economy and that tourism is one of the main profits. No details. The architecture is well described, missing its size - measurements. It is very interesting vision of used technology and materials like biorock or HDPE. Well described benefits, but missing risk analysis. No description of engineering roles involved into city design. The infrastructure and city layout is well described, I'm wondering where are green areas like parks or lawns? Is the one of the main assumptions that whole city is under the roof- the shell, or there are some parts outdoor? I cannot find it in the essay. Congratulations for the work and great imagination. |

The essay is very well-written, with thorough and detailed descriptions of the city?s features, innovations, and services. The cultural elements and city life aspects are particularly interesting. The use of futuristic concepts like movable buildings and smart agriculture adds a compelling vision of sustainability. The essay is detailed and thorough, but there are some areas where refinement or additional details could enhance alignment with the rubric:
Provide additional details for environmental impact mitigation and trade-offs.
Deepen the analysis of engineering disciplines and their contributions.
Expand descriptions of city services like public transport and emergency response.
Add more specific examples for futuristic elements like the smart city platform.
Overall, an impressive and insightful essay! |

This essay did not reference engineering, nor did it provide a word count or indicate that an interview was done. That being said, the city design was not a flawed concept for the city, and this group did a very good job of introducing the city. They just lacked a bit on the theme solutions. I would not say that their concepts were innovative, they just improved upon existing ideas slightly. |

A large city off the coast of Nigeria is a Great Idea! There are so many people there and, as you say, natural disaster may be fewer there. Few teams address governance beyond the city itself, but you did. The UN/Federal system is futuristic. You have good solutions for many service, safety, and infrastructure concerns. It would be good to see more in-depth descriptions of those solutions. |

Ladies and Gentlemen,
First let me say Great Job! As an engineer you had my imagination racing. After reading your essay I am excited about the prospect of living in Kaelora. As a team you have done a wonderful job of painting a beautiful image. Kudos should also go to the Team Mentor for their help. I love the name of your floating city. An appropriate name for a futuristic floating city designed by a team of students that will be future STEM professionals. I was impressed by the plethora of innovative and futuristic aspects that Kaelora uses. Applications like genetically modified fish, carbon-sequestering concrete, hemp rebar for structural support, and bionic leaves will go a long way towards sustainability and a better planet. The reference to Baymax was awesome and radical. This is just the type of thing I hope for in the future. While we don?t have this technology yet, cellphones were not readily available 40 years ago. What will another 40 years bring us? Hopefully Baymax.
I want to also provide some constructive analysis. While the team was well under the max word count, you still had a lot of words available to expound on your innovative and futuristic examples. I could not find where the essay discussed the effects of sea level rise. Other than the availability of industrial engineering jobs I did not see any other engineering disciplines involved or the roles of engineers. Addressing these would have helped the essay.
Thank you!

The essay utilizes a logical layout with most advanced software and hardware for sustainable development. It has named many different technologies but has not described the detailed method of these technologies beside their utility.
The general lifestyle and description for the future residents has been designed. However, a comparative information about improvement is missing. There is a good room for improvement where the collaborative tools and life of people in the city could be clearly explained.
The references are acceptable and an interview with an engineer is missing. |

The essay does a good job describing the various details of the island. The four different districts and how each of those districts will be utilized to support the residents of the island are descriptive and easy to understand. However, the essay does not have enough details on how some of the logistics will be executed. For example, how will this island survive the rising sea levels? It is also unclear why this island is a better place to live than the existing land. There were no discussions on the various trade-offs that should have been considered. For example, carrying waste off the island requires boats, which may produce carbon emission. What are some things that the residents should do to minimize waste? The paragraph that spans pages 3 - 5 should be broken down to several paragraphs because it presents multiple topics. There were also no references included in the essay. |

The use of innovative technology was researched and on a high level described. However the essay need to start off with a description of the location, not general area, population and culture. The author instead of writing this as a future "concept" to have put this in the point of view of a time in the future and describing the geometry, the population, the industries, culture (schools, universities, healthcare) life within the floating city.
The author missed how the floating city was to react to weather related instances, such as hurricanes. Also, the construction make up of the floating platform was too general other than stating "durable and sustainable" I would like to have understood the modularity of the and the flexibility to address expansion.
A lack of imagery did not aid in the description of modularity or what each of the modules would look like. |

Both examples, Space based solar power (SBSP) and Island Flotation, gave a clear and thorough description with extensive details. Very futuristic and innovative. For example: The islands risk overturning from weight imbalance, causing a major risk to the marine ecosystem, so zoning codes limit buildings to 20 stories with aerodynamic shapes, and enforce eco-conservation rules for net-zero system efficiency.
Engineering disciplines: Aerospace engineers designed and developed our SBSP satellites, Civil engineers managed projects like our piezoelectric driveway system, Electrical engineers expanded our Electrify the Globe initiative, and Environmental engineers provided innovative solutions for regenerating lost habitat spaces.
Construction led to a 5% decrease in green sea turtles feeding on seagrass beds and declining fish migration due to habitat disruption. To mitigate this, each island?s exterior is coated with an algae-derived material embedded with photosynthetic bacteria, mimicking coral reefs. Over 10 years, marine life began to regenerate around the city.
Very well written, with the theme of the response to a future typhoon Genesis. The city's Filipino name means "Flowing Community"; and Daloy Bayan?s annual ?Going with the Flow? exhibition, held at the science center, celebrates innovative climate solutions. |

A very thorough and well done report. The presentation as a scientific document/report was clear and easy to follow and allowed for easy outlining of innovative aspects, benefits analysis etc. Incorporation of figures was appropriate and beneficial. Some of the detail might better be shown on the figures ex. spacing of the clusters in the figure instead of written in paragraph form helps with the flow of the document (and help save on word count :)). Details throughout report and extensive works cited show excellent research and synthesis to create the floating city idea. One area for improvement may be an elaboration on the human element of the city and some of the cultural or human connection tradeoffs people may face in such a futuristic place. |

Great job of making me understand what a resident's life might be like in your city. Would have loved to see the incorporation of innovative/futuristic materials and also the role of engineers explicitly explained in the development of your city. Also would have preferred "hexes" be written properly as hexagons. I wasn't sure I fully understood until seeing the graphic you provided. Hexes are witches' spells 🙂 |

Your city description does not describe the population of inhabitants or the benefits/drawbacks. I could not find evidence for your city's daily life or culture. What kind of people live there? What do they do? What is the mean income? What are the primary industries, etc...? The technology outlined in the paper is not new or advanced and could be improved. No reference to city services. Although this entry has great potential, it lacks details to draw an image of what the team imagined. I would have liked to see what the cutting-edge and innovative things were, but there were no details. no graphics or references were provided. |

Strengths:
The essay provides a clear and structured description of the city, including its location, zoning, and renewable energy focus.
The use of stilted construction and renewable energy sources like hydropower and solar demonstrates a thoughtful approach to sustainability.
The essay is well-written, with clear organization and minimal grammar errors.
Areas for Improvement:
City Life: The essay could include more cultural details and a richer depiction of daily life to make the city feel more immersive.
Innovation & Futuristic Elements: While the energy solutions and stilted design are commendable, they are not as groundbreaking compared to the other essays. Including more futuristic technologies or societal innovations would enhance the vision.
Effects of Sea Level Rise: The discussion of sea level rise and its impacts is adequate but could explore more unique and diverse mitigation strategies beyond energy solutions.
This essay excels in city planning and sustainability but would benefit from richer cultural integration and more revolutionary innovations. It is well-written and aligns closely with the rubric. |

Very well done! I like how all age populations are considered in the plan. City services give good detail to be there logically for citizens. Location is great. Missing or could use more development is how the ocean levels caused damage in the past, how the floating city deals with rising water in more detail since that is a focus of the project. Writing is very well organized and articulated ideas. The area of tradeoffs could have used more explanations but you covered jobs very well. Overall, a lot of work shows in this and it is very well done. It was a pleasure to read. |

Writing is clear and concise and begins with a nice play on words in the introduction. There are several items mentioned generally, such as 'cutting edge technology' and 'enhanced surveillance photography' but we are not told what these technologies are. More specifics would be helpful. While I recognize the challenges of completing this within the word limit, work toward increasing the detail and more futuristic ideas. |

The essay is very well written and illustrated with appropriate graphics. Students have described the governance, organization and infrastructure at great lengths. Per the rubric provided, students could have elaborated on the effect of sea level rise before the city was established. Essay fails to identify or describe the role of engineers. No references were provided. Word count was not identified. While the essay does a good job of describing the floating city, it does not adhere very closely to the items identified in the rubric. Good job overall! |

The team has done a great job in organizing and defining the overall essay. They have depicted a neatly authored, logical linkage between the sections. The city location, design and the amenities have been designed carefully.
However, there is a room for improvement in the futuristic and sustainability technologies. A futuristic city represents an urban environment designed to leverage cutting-edge technologies, innovative urban planning, and sustainable practices to address contemporary challenges and create a high-quality, equitable lifestyle for its inhabitants. The item of advanced technology and self-sustaining infrastructure has room for improvement. A city in future might not be tourism dependent totally keeping in mind the today's virtual reality.

I appreciate the thought process of nature and humans creating an essential space for future generations. Looking at nature, similar to biophilic cities and learning how we can design and coexist. I enjoyed reading the agriculture and food systems that were being used within your city. The overall layout and structure of the essay could have been improved by following the layout of the rubric. Some of the main design solutions were unclear. Why the shape and size of the turtle? How is it protecting from storm protection? What are some of the environmental impacts? Who is designing these items and their roles? The benefits, risks, trade-offs need to be discussed further. Thank you for completing the essay and starting to form this concept. I think it could continue to be refined and grown with more research and continued efforts. |

1-6: Writer did a good of articulating where the city is located and its benefits and risks. They also did a good job discussing risks and the effects of rising sea levels before the development of the floating city. However, the essay lacked sufficient detail about infrastructure, daily life, city services, and futuristic elements. Most descriptions were kept fairly general.
7-12: The overall description of the city could have been more elaborate/detailed. It was difficult to understand or imagine the size and shape of the floating city from the information provided. Writer did provide some details on storm surge protection! Essay provided two different examples of innovative/futuristic technologies but both would have benefited from a more detailed explanation and description. Descriptions were fairly general and vague. Author touched on the risks of their floating city but a more detailed analysis would have provided a more well rounded picture of the city impact. Great job describing two different engineering disciplines and their roles
13-15: Organization of the essay was relatively easy to follow and made sense but mistakes in grammar made some paragraphs a little more difficult to understand. Author did not cite sources/references, no interview was mentioned. |

Superb analysis on location selection. Excellent description of city layout & concept. Inclusion of governing structure was appreciated. Environmental impact & sustainability concerns clearly woven throughout the narrative. Good use of innovative materials and solutions. Enjoyed the concept of magnetic guided submersible pods for transportation. Writing style was clear and comprehensive but could have benefitted from headers to guide structure. Illustrations would have been appreciated in a couple areas, notably in the city's island layout. Overall a very thorough submission with loads of information packed into the limited word allowance. |

Overall, a very good and thorough essay. However, the location and structure of the city is confusing. Is Elysian Isle a pre-existing natural island, or is it a human-made floating city?
Good inclusion of information about indigenous peoples in the area. Would suggest exploring the applicability of wave power for a city so connected to ocean. Think outside of the box. |

This essay excels in introducing the city of Elysian Isle, describing its innovative features, and addressing the theme of rising sea levels and climate change. The writing is well-organized, and the use of advanced technology and sustainable materials is clearly explained. The essay effectively highlights the city's unique solutions, such as oyster farms and seaweed-based fishing nets, and demonstrates a strong understanding of the engineering disciplines involved. Minimal grammar errors identified, and would have liked to see more references and graphics.

I well written essay that did a great job of describing the city. There was a lot of detail about everyday life and layout of the island. I only saw one type of engineer listed (civil) when many other engineers would be involved in the construction and maintaining of the city (e.g mechanical engineers and electrical engineers keeping the wind turbines moving and material engineers in the development of the construction material used for the island). I think the boat lanes would need to be wider than 12' if the boats are 12'. Otherwise, the boats in adjoining lanes may be scraping each other. I didn't see the name of the civil engineer interviewed listed in the references. Word Count for the essay was missing. |

Great idea of upgrading a city already floating?this really highlights how water bodies can successfully nourish urban areas. Two things to consider: how might solar panels function during the winter months? Also, while the idea of a desalination plant is thoughtful, the diagram appears to be from a public source?it could be even more impactful if it were drawn by your team. Overall, nice work!

The design for Loong Gong city is intriguing, with a strong focus on STEM. There is a clear emphasis on proposed technologies for energy efficiency and sustainability, and the solutions for addressing the challenges of rising seas and storms are fascinating. The healthcare system details are also well thought out. However, the transportation systems and methods for citizens to navigate within the city are not fully explored, which is a crucial aspect for any community. Overall, great job! |

You've told a really beautiful story about how this city came to be, the location, and its citizens. You've considered government, food sources, transportation, and education. The innovation of using light metals is great, especially for a floating city. You did an excellent job describing the trade-offs of the vertical farm. This is surely innovation #1, what would you consider to be innovation #2? The transportation system, the use of light metals, conversion of waste and rubble to soil? So many great options to elaborate on and provide some more details and trade-offs. This paper is well researched and sited. |

Word count not included, but well under the limit.
Students have some good thoughts, but underdeveloped. They had about 300 words left which they could have used to explain their ideas in greater detail. Solutions are fairly basic and not very innovative. Good inclusion of culture and the desire to preserve their history.
Overall, costly solution for only about 4,000 citizens. |

Essay is written very well and with a lot of details. Author of the essay know exactly how future city should looks like and works. City basics are well described, with numbers and statistics records which let to imagine the city look. Infrastructure, especially transportation system is described in detail, reader can highlight 4 ways of transportation, which is also important during some safety issues can occure. If one doesn't work, there is always alternative. Great! I'm missing more details regarding schools, education and young people. If island has to be energy and life efficient, there should be space, environment for young people who can educate in energy and similar topics, improve their skills and have space for educational development like university research over subjects that matters the most island environment and issues. It would be the "source" of people actively engaged in island "lifecycle" from teenage or even kindergarten to family life. 😉 For the disadvantages and risk assessment I as a senior Engineer would recommend to use RCA (root cause analysis) to find right causes of the problems and point relevant corrective and preventive actions, like NASA do. See the 8D report (8 disciplines report which is used for problem solving or A3 report), also get know about ISHIKAWA diagram which divide each potential cause for some subjects. I used it as my basic tools and it is worth it. 🙂 Great essay!:) Congrats! |

While the 3D printed trees used to generate solar energy are a good idea, thought should be given to the environmental cost and carbon cost of constructing those trees rather than growing living trees and instituting another form of energy generation. The general location of the city is given but the report does not clarify how residents will travel between the city and the mainland. Information is also missing on the size of platforms. They do describe in detail how trash will be handled to eliminate waste and reuse materials. |

This essay initially does well to describe the floating city and the motivation to create such a city. However, the essay does not get into any of the technical descriptions or challenges of creating such a city. The essay also does not explain any engineering decisions and the rationale behind them - it simply makes statements such as, "We needed to consider construction materials. Materials that can withstand humidity, water and the change in climate.". What are the actual construction materials you are considering? Where would these materials be used (buildings, roads, etc.)?
The word count is well below the maximum allowable and the essay have no references cited. |

The idea of an island doesn't match the goal of a floating city. Limited idea development for effects of sea level rise, risks and trade-offs. No development of a 2nd futuristic and innovative example. No references included. |

excellent city solution, using waste as (literally) the city's foundation is innovative,
Plans for *large* cities (40 million) are necessary. It's great to see that here. You've done a good job thinking through the city plan from many different angles. Connection to the mainland is often overlooked, but here it is integral. Building on this scale creates a landscape instead of an isolated city and is a step towards replacing lost homelands. Nicely done |

Ladies and Gentlemen,
First let me say Great Job! As an engineer you had my imagination racing. After reading your essay I am excited about the prospect of living in Tiki Tombolo. As a team you have done a wonderful job of painting a beautiful image. Kudos should go to the Team and to the Mentor for their help. I love the name of your floating city. An appropriate name for a futuristic floating city designed by a team of students that will be future STEM professionals. I was impressed by the innovative and futuristic aspects that Tiki Tombolo uses. Applications like reused plastic molded into panels, genetically modified algae, and artificial intelligence will go a long way towards sustainability and a better planet. The embracing of AI is both awesome and radical. This is just the type of thing I hope for in the future. While we haven?t embraced this technology yet, cellphones were not readily available 40 years ago. What will another 40 years bring us? Hopefully AI that strengthens the world.
I want to also provide some constructive analysis. I could not find where the essay discussed any engineering disciplines involved or the roles of engineers. Addressing this would have helped the essay.
Thank you!

Great job, Tiki Tombolo team! Impressed by your unique ideas, unique solutions!! Good research done. Because of good job, I had questions myself. Will mainland island be above sea-level to provide food and resources? Will genetically modified algae be enough for all food needs?
Some places expression was not clear. Going forward, please try shorter sentences. But I didn't penalize you for that.
There were no graphics. At least one graphic would have strengthened your essay. I am assuming you interviewed Michelle Fleischer, an engineer.
I myself did research on the name of your city. Tiki - means connection between heaven and earth; Tombolo - means connection between an island to mainland or other island. Very good name for your city!
Please continue following your dreams of furthering your career in STEM! |

You've done a great job combining technology with sustainability, especially with ideas like airlift transportation and vertical farming. Your explanation of how the city would handle challenges like flooding and sea level rise is clear and shows problem-solving skills. Also, the use of nuclear fusion and advanced transportation system is a smart way to address energy and mobility needs. Overall very innovative, great job! |

Well-written and engaging with good details and descriptions of applied technology. A description of emergency services (police, fire) would be a good addition. Good description of technology used, particularly the engines and gyros to maintain stability and location, autonomous drones and nuclear fusion to provide industrial and residential power. Interestingly, the references listed seemed more aligned with Singapore rather than technology. What technology will be used for water purification/desalination...and will wastewater be treated and returned to the ocean or reused in gray water applications on the island? Well done! |

Great work! It is apparent that a lot research was done for this paper and it was written in a way that I could envision city life on Neeraja while reading. The amount of detail and imagination that went into the creation of this city is exciting. I would have liked to have see information on the cons of having a city with weight limits and what the city would plan to do to mitigate that issue. Overall, very impressed. |

This could be a very good essay, but I don't feel like it was well organized which made it hard to follow at times. It seems that the rubric was structured based on how it was structured, which is good, but that means that the essay did not flow at all. |

Light discussion on education, detailed on health (especially mental health). No mention of public safety. Good discussion of public transportation. Some of the innovative & creative elements will need new technologies to be achieved. Effects of Sea Level Rise on City and Citizens BEFORE Development of Floating City are limited to brief mentions in the opening paragraph.
Discussion of storm protection dams is incomplete; should describe how water filling the dams will cause them to rise and operate effectively. Example 1: Only a general description of wave energy (WAE) is one of Manila's main sources of energy. Example 2: MAWP (Manila Water Protection) |

Ladies and Gentlemen,
First let me say Great Job! As an engineer you had my imagination racing. After reading your essay I am excited about the prospect of living in Maris Pacifica. As a team you have done a wonderful job of painting a beautiful image. Kudos should go to the Team and to the Mentor for their help. I love the name of your floating city. An appropriate name for a futuristic floating city designed by a team of students that will be future STEM professionals. I was impressed by the innovative aspects that Maris Pacifica uses. Applications like interconnected hex system with the TC link design and preserving the current cultural identity of the native peoples of Micronesia will go a long way towards a better planet. The TC link design (with figures) was awesome.
I want to also provide some constructive analysis. I could not find where the essay discussed any engineering disciplines involved or the roles of engineers. I also thought the essay could have offered more on futuristic elements and technology. Cellphones were not readily available 40 years ago. What will another 40 years bring us? Addressing this and answering this question would have helped the essay.
Thank you!

Awesome job Chiwit, Thailand! Very methodical, well-researched with lots of details. I had to google words and information. I learned things from your essay! Definitely futuristic. Had the unique idea of applying the lessons learned from floating city to the mainland.
Because there was so much detail, I asked some questions myself. What will it take to make it more self-sustained? How can we minimize (or eliminate) dependence on mainland? Something to put more thoughts on.
Minor issue on vocabulary. You meant 'depletion', but you had the typo and wrote 'description'.
Again, awesome job Chiwit! I found what 'Chiwit' means in Thai...{animated; livelyyor; energetic; full of life; bursting with energy}. Appropriate name for your city!
Keep following your dreams of doing good in STEM field!!

Great use of references! This essay was well written and organized. The use of references was well done. The idea for the city was a good one but lacked more details. You did not mention citizen life or mention any set backs or environmental impacts for the ideas that were presented. This is a great start just need to develop the ideas a bit more. |

Writing was disorganized with many grammatical errors. Essay took on a level of informality that didn't communicate a level of scientific knowledge or application. I was interested in learning more about the "shell slurry," but the discussion wasn't continued in depth. Engineering wasn't discussed, and most topics were mentioned in current day terms, rather than futuristic terms. |

I enjoyed reading about your floating city and applaud the sustainability elements integrated into the design of the city. This essay could be strengthened by including a more distinct analysis of the benefits, risks, and tradeoffs of the floating city and the impact of the floating city on implementation of futuristic elements / tech. |

Funding for city services is cool, but not enough detail on what city elements actually do. What is the US military doing there? Would it be an Army base or a Navy base? Automated fishery is cool but couldn?t that be scaled up to export? |

The model depiction is a graphic depiction to scale. This model as a city infrastructure is well represented. Amenities and requirements have been depicted as per the exiting social structure which might be good in future as well.
However, other than the Wastewater Treatment/Nuclear Cooling Station, there are no other futuristic innovation to the model. There is a huge room for improvement from the technology perspective. If we plan a future with sustainable economy, we can not let the technology stay behind and let the city move to another location where tourism and imports be the method of sustainability |

The city design, in and of itself, wasn't bad. However, it lacked detail and imagination, and there was nothing displayed that would indicate that the city floats. |
