In April 2017, the architect Stefano Boeri revealed his radical proposals to build ‘forest cities’ as a means of combating urban pollution.

The concept, titled Vertical Forest, is a proposal for a city in Shijiazhuang, China, which could serve as a prototype for other new green urban developments.

The city is made up of high-rise towers that would be covered in trees and other planted vegetation which, by filtering dust particles and absorbing carbon dioxide, would help to de-pollute the surrounding environment.

It is thought that the towers could also provide a habitat for birds and insects that would otherwise struggle to survive in an urban environment.

Boeri has already completed two Vertical Forest towers in Milan, which incorporate trees, shrubs and plants on balconies of the buildings. Together, the towers host the same amount of trees as could be planted in a forest measuring one hectare.

Two more Vertical Forest towers are under construction in Nanjing, China, where 1,000 trees and 2,500 cascading plants and shrubs will line the structures’ facades.
