Designed by architect Stefano Boeri, the Bosco Verticale is already under construction. Made up of two skyscrapers, each luxury apartment will hold "around 900 small trees and other plants."
I would hope they build one locally. Then again, we just need to place a whole row of plants on every HDB corridor, and people would be none the wiser. So, what for waste our time and build this right?
On a side note, I do wonder what plants and trees will be built or maintained. Wouldn't mind trying out some fresh produce cultivated a hundred feet in the air. :)
