The world's first vertical forest city will open in 2020

Designed
by Stefano Boeri Architetti Architects.
In the master plan, the new city will accommodate 30,000 residents and will be an efficient and environmentally friendly structure, covered with vegetation and trees from top to bottom
.

The forest city in Liuzhou will contain all the building types of modern cities – modern office buildings, residential buildings, hotels, hospitals and schools – and the entire project is located in a 175-hectare area
near the Liujiang River.
The project adopts the firm's famous vertical greening system, and the facades of each building will be covered with living vegetation, with a total of 40,000 trees, more than 100 plantings, and a total of nearly 1 million plants
.

The system will also improve air quality in the region, as it is estimated to absorb 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 57 tonnes of pollutants per year, while also producing about 900 tonnes of oxygen
.

With the start of the Liuzhou greening project construction project, the project is expected to be completed within 3 years and is scheduled to be opened for use
in 2020.
