Vincent Callebaut Architects' Lillypad Project is a futistic project designed artificial island for refugees displaced by global warming. It houses 50,000 people and is self sufficient.
"LILYPAD is touted by Callebaut as a prototypical auto-sufficient amphibious city... a tenable solution to the rising water levels. In addition to providing housing for those displaced by the transforming land/water relationships, LILYPAD also produces sustainable energy for developed regions." http://archinect.com/features/article/76244/showcase-lilypad-a-floating-ecopolis-for-ecological-refugees
