Description
Nagasaki Airport, located in Omura Bay, Japan, is a unique example of floating infrastructure. The airport is built on an artificial island, making it the world’s first airport to be constructed entirely on reclaimed land in the sea. This innovative project addresses land scarcity in urban Japan and minimizes the environmental impact on the surrounding areas by using advanced engineering techniques. The airport has also contributed to the local economy and serves as a critical hub for domestic and international flights.
Key features include its stormwater management system, which reduces waterlogging on the runway, and its integration of green spaces to enhance biodiversity. The floating design also takes into consideration seismic activity common in Japan, ensuring resilience and sustainability.
