A report aired on Le19.30, the evening edition of the RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse) news programme, describes the Vertical Forest project in Milan, conceived by Boeri Studio (Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca, Giovanni La Varra), with the consultancy of Arup Italia s.r.l., Deerns Italia S.p.A., Tekne s.p.a., LAND s.r.l., Alpina S.p.A., MI.PR.AV. s.r.l., and Laura Gatti as a botanical consultant.
The report focuses on the impact of the project in the Porta Nuova area, praising its urban regeneration aspects, and on the typology, with a look at the choice of plants – 800 trees, 15,000 plants and 5,000 shrubs – and the characteristic elements of this successful example of urban forestation, increasingly necessary to respond to contemporary climate challenges.
