Floating Urban Residences With Rutger De Graaf

  • Resumen

  • We’ve fought water for centuries, but maybe it’s time to live with it—and even on it.” – Rutger de Graaf

    Imagine cities that rise with the sea instead of sinking beneath it.

    In this eye-opening episode of Constructive Voices, host Jackie De Burca speaks with visionary Dutch engineer Rutger de Graaf, co-founder of Blue21, about how floating urban developments can offer real, resilient solutions to the climate crisis.

    Floating Developments Aren't Just A Back Up Plan

    “Floating developments aren’t just a backup plan for climate change; they’re innovation platforms for decentralised energy, housing, and community.” Rutger de Graaf

    For over 18 years, Rutger has been leading the charge in designing, engineering, and implementing floating infrastructure in the Netherlands and beyond.

    This episode delves deep (pun intended) into how floating neighbourhoods, ports, and even social housing could redefine our relationship with water—and why this isn’t science fiction but a rapidly emerging reality.
