Floating into the future
Description
Imagine an entire city floating peacefully and sustainably on water, its energy comes from waves and wind, food is fish that grows in specially-designed ocean-based structures…this is the life work of globally renowned structural engineer and UQ researcher Professor CM Wang.
His vision for a more sustainable future will leave you inspired.
"[In the future,] we will be much richer in terms of new energies available, living will be clean, and farming could change in ways we never thought possible,” he said.
Hear more about his work and how engineers can help to make a better world in the final episode of But Seriously, What is Engineering? Season One.
