In Corriere della Sera, an article by Damiano Fedeli describes the Prato Urban Jungle project-“the world’s first urban jungle”-in which studio Stefano Boeri Architetti and plant neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso have collaborated. Specifically, the project is part of the European U.I.A. (Urban Innovative Actions) call for proposals for the transformation and redevelopment, through urban forestation, of strategic sites in the city – among them: the residential complex in Viale Turchia and the Estra company headquarters.
