Flood city sketch v2 - thanks for all your help before, one last pass before I make it

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for all your help on my previous question planning art of a more flood-compatible city! I've tried to include everyone's suggestions from last time, plus everything from here, and discussions on reddit and discord.

I don't plan to clutter up the community with any drafts after this one, but I was hoping to get one more pass with my current sketch since its based mostly on your ideas. Is there anything you'd like to see added or changed in a depiction of a city that's built to flood? Thanks again!

  • The pathways between the floating houses and the houseboat need to float as well and need a connection to the land, which is variable in height. Something like this would be normal. Also some railing to prevent folks from falling into the water. At least for those more permanent structures.

    Also some greenery in the city part would be nice. Maybe turn one of the dolphins into a cypress tree.

    • Thanks, I'll definitely include that kind of dock/railings, still figuring out how to add greenery. I might shuffle the buildings around to make some room for a park
