This is a project designed by green architecture firm Stefano Boeri Architetti.

With an area of ​​1.75 km2, this green forest city will connect with the city center by a high-speed tram route. According to the plan, this will be a housing complex and a shopping and entertainment center, plus two schools and a hospital.

Thanks to being covered by nearly a million 40,000 trees of all kinds, the city is expected to significantly and quickly improve air quality in the region.

The buildings are filled with the green color of trees.

According to information from Stefano Boeri Architetti, the amount of greenery in the city will absorb about 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to emissions from 1,961 cars emitted in a year. It is also said to filter 57 tons of pollutants and produce about 900 tons of oxygen per year. For ease of comparison, that oxygen may be enough for a person to breathe for 95 years.

What's even more amazing is that the vertically grown vegetation will reduce the average temperature of the air, acting as noise barriers and improving the biodiversity of living organisms. area.
