They will be very big and lots of people will live and work in them. The Americans are going to build a town called Dream City. It will be in the sea, about five miles away from the land. But the most exciting idea comes from Japan. It is Aeropolis. Aeropolis will be a huge sea city, with parks, schools, a hospital, an airport and so on. And it moves!
