The mode of constructing the floating town in mining subsidence water area

As for unilateral utilization pattern and less effective treatment of mining subsidence water area, this research proposed a construction of a floating town in subsidence water area by exploring construction land. The planning layout and spatial model of the town were designed with the aid of three-dimensional digital simulation. In the proposed design scheme, the floating module consists of superstructure, floating foundation and mooring structures. The unit module was assembled into a floating organic system as required. Such approaches, in order to realize the ecological livable ‘beautiful China’ (ecological and sustainable country), try to propose a new idea to satisfy the contradiction between population growth and demand for land, and to minimize the use of arable land and preservation of the natural environment, as well as the expansion of construction land on green field sites and the promotion of new type urbanization
