STOCKHOLM, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Gothenburg, the second largest city of Sweden, has embarked on plans to construct a gigantic concrete storm defense wall, which will be ready for use by 2070.
The wall will rise 2.7 meters above sea level and will protect the city, at least until the year 2100, Swedish Television reported on Tuesday. It can stand open during dry weather and be shut during storms, according to construction plans.
