The New York Times has published an article in its International Edition titled How a design capital tackles climate crisis, devoted to the city of Milan and the measures it has put in place to combat the effects of climate change, interviewing Stefano Boeri on the matter.
Laura Rysman’s article focuses on Milan’s challenges and potential, presenting some of the solutions for preventing and containing the city’s pollution, urban heat island effect, and emissions. In this context, Stefano Boeri is interviewed alongside other architects and designers, presenting the Bosco Verticale as one of the nature-based solutions adopted, together with Forestami and other projects that promote and encourage urban forestation.
“Nature must become an integral part of architecture,” Boeri says, adding: “Milan must find the courage to drastically reduce the number of cars and to progressively tax public parking, as is already the case in much of Europe. Streets belong to everyone, and those parking spaces could host playgrounds or trees.”
