MAUNSELL FORTS : Future Living on Water, UNITED KINGDOM

The Maunsell Forts were built during World War II to defend Britain’s coast from enemy aircraft.

Constructed in the 1940s, these massive steel and concrete structures rose out of the sea like small cities on stilts — strong, functional, and completely self-sufficient.
