One of the core elements of the Metabolist movement is a versatile was a megastructure that would create a framework onto which program modules could be attached. Currently, cities like Cape Town in South Africa seek refuge as the water crisis looms overhead. However, In the United States continues to debate whether global warming is an issue. With storms and sea level changes becoming more prevalent it is clear that many cities and suburbs are at risk of being caught under water.
