PIC FROM CATERS (PICTURED: PIC FROM CATERS (PICTURED: A PLANE TAKES OFF FROM THE LANDING STRIP ON TOP OF THE FREEDOM SHIP) – An incredible 0 billion floating city, built to house 50,000 people, is edging closer to reality. With casinos, an airport and shopping centres, this city of the sea could be a permanent home to thousands of people. The Freedom Ship is a mile long and 25 storeys high, with the finished 2.7 million-tonne vessel so big it could never enter a port. The benefits of ocean occupation would involve brand new schools, hospitals, businesses, parks, promenades, landscaping, public art and saltwater aquariums. The Freedom Ship would also have room for another 30,000 daily visitors, 20,000 crew and 10,000 overnight guests. SEE CATERS COPY
