Maldives Makes New Island

Fifteen hundred people already live on a 465 acre island called Hulhumale, a brand-new island being built by the government of the Maldives to ease overcrowding. The government hopes to move about 45,000 people of the country's 300,000 residents over the next 15 years to this artificial island built on a lagoon. The creation of Hulhumale began in 1997.
