The Nanjing Vertical Forest features in an article of the german magazione Garten+Landschaft as example of use of living nature in the city. A sustainable housing model which, on the base of the Milanese prototype, will host green balconies with 1.100 trees from 23 local species and 2.500 cascading plants and shrubs.
The project, already under construction, will be finished in 2019 and will be the first Vertical Forest to be built in Asia, representing the next tile of a wider project by Stefano Boeri Architetti: Urban Forestry, which aims to combine urban and architectural solutions with climate change related problems.
