Monaco: The Conquest of the Sea

Monaco has been feeling cramped on its 2km² rock for a long time now. Following in the footsteps of his father Prince Rainier, nicknamed the “Builder Prince” because he increased the principality’s size by 20%, Albert II has taken up another colossal challenge: building 60,000 km2 of housing, a parking structure, a port, a park and a shoreline walkway… on the sea!

Monaco’s newest gem will be called the “Anse du Portier” district. The builders are going to have to wrestle with a deep and delicate seabed, deploying colossal resources to make this brand-new slice of Monaco rise up out of the waters.
