The Hanging Gardens of Milan

In the historic and cultural city of Milan, Italy, a construction project has begun on two towers that will not only reshape the skyline of the city, but also refresh the air that they breathe. Bosco Verticale is a vertical forest project at 110 and 76 meters in height, and is part of the initiative to revitalize the Porta Nuova section of the city. The towers are part of a green initiative, and it is hoped that these revolutionary designs will become a successful platform and prototype for new buildings across the globe, created to reduce waste and blend man-made creations with natural beauty and benefits.
