Pollution-Eating Liuzhou Forest City

in science •  7 years ago 

Liuzhou Forest City is one of the latest forward-thinking projects by Stefano Boeri Architetti, a high-profile firm based in Milan, Italy. Liuzhou will be a city where offices, houses, hotels, hospitals and schools are entirely covered by plants and trees. Once completed, the city will host 30,000 people, absorb almost 10,000 tons of CO2 and 57 tons of pollutants per year and produce approximately 900 tons of oxygen

In addition, the city will massively use renewable energies (geothermal energy for interior air-conditioning and power from solar panels over the roofs), aiming to be self-sufficient energy-wise.

Plants will also grow on  building facades, which helps improve the air quality, decrease the average air temperature, create noise barriers and improve the biodiversity of living species.

This project uses the concept of Vertical Forest, pioneered by Boeri first in Milan, and currently being deployed in several locations worldwide, as shown here.

Useful, green innovation...
