In recent years, floating homes have emerged as a creative and sustainable response to the growing pressures of urban population and rising sea levels. As cities struggle with limited land, rapid urbanisation, and frequent flooding due to climate change, building on water is becoming a practical alternative. Architects in cities like Amsterdam and Lagos are designing homes that can float, not just to deal with space shortages, but also to adapt to a wetter future caused by global warming.

In Amsterdam, the idea of floating homes has become more than a trend. [I] Entire neighborhoods such as Schoolschip have been developed on water, using smart technology and eco-friendly materials. These are not only sustainable but also energy-efficient, often powered by solar panels and built with recycled materials. This kind of housing shows how forward-thinking architecture can help cities grow without putting more stress on land resources.

[II] In Lagos, where flooding is a serious issue, architects are taking a different but equally innovative approach. The Makoko Floating School was designed to serve both as an educational center and a model for future construction in flood-prone areas. Although the original structure collapsed due to poor maintenance and funding, it sparked worldwide interest and inspired improved designs. These new models focus on affordability, community living, and resilience to climate-related disasters.

Floating homes also offer potential solutions for housing crises. [III] As urban populations grow, building upwards and outwards may not always be possible. Instead, building on water can diminish land pressure while offering residents safety from flooding. Experts warn that proper regulations, careful engineering, and community involvement are essential to make these projects long-lasting and safe. [IV]

According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned as a reason for the rise of floating homes, EXCEPT ______.

a)

urban land shortages

b)

high construction costs on land

c)

rapid city development

d)

frequent flooding due to climate change
