In Dezeen, an article by Lizzie Crook presents the Bosco Dubai project, designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti with the aim of realising the first prototype of a Vertical Forest for the MENA areas of the world, integrating the benefits of urban forestry – absorption of particulate matter, microclimate regulation, reduction of the greenhouse effect – with innovations in water system management in arid climates and optimisation of energy production from renewable sources.
The two towers, 190 and 150 metres high, house 2640 trees and 27600 shrubs on the façades, as well as a system of greenhouses and hydroponic gardens, for a total of 6,275 square metres of green spaces that contribute to the absorption of 20 tonnes of CO2 and the production of 19 tonnes of oxygen annually.
