how long can last with the global sea level rising and possibility of sinking like Kansai Airport.


The "sinking airport" refers primarily to Japan's Kansai International Airport (KIX), built on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, which has been gradually sinking since opening in 1994 due to the soft seabed compressing faster than expected. While designed to settle, the initial sinking rate was alarming, but engineers have implemented costly countermeasures, like adjustable support columns and drainage systems, slowing it down, though it remains an ongoing challenge to manage its long-term stability.
