In 2016 a huge reclamation project created a new island at the southernmost tip of Peninsular Malaysia, across the Straits of Johor from Singapore. Once the sand began to settle, construction began and high rise buildings anchored to the ocean floor began to rise and form an "eco-city of the future" for a population of 700,000. This is the story of the first people to live on the island of Forest City, as told by an educator learning alongside the first children, youth, and their families.
