Liuzhou Forest City will house 30 000 upon completion and host over a million plants of 100+ species. This city is a model for the future, as it leads the development of sustainable green cities.

« The Forest City project, presented for the first time at the COP 21 international conference in Paris in 2015, is a derivation of the broader theme of Urban Forestry, which has always ben the focus of Stefano Boeri Architetti’s research. The development of urban and architectural models of environmental regeneration, demineralization of the soil and increase of biodiversity has led to the conception of a new generation city, able to become a model of sustainable growth at a global level, starting from China. In fact, China is the world’s country with the highest rate of urbanization, with 14 million inhabitants migrating each year to cities. »
