If you want to create a large green space in the center of a busy city you would most likely have to tear down an entire neighborhood to get it. Architect Stefano Boeri had different idea to accomplish the same goal and designed a vertical forest tower, Bosco Verticale, for residential living in the city of Milan. Two towers are under construction today that will contain on the perimeter approximately 900 trees, 5,000 bushes, and 11,000 plants when complete. To fit the same quantity of greenery in a traditional green space you would need approximately 100,000 square feet to do it. Bosco Verticale is indeed a very creative use of space.
