The city will achieve these rather impressive figures thanks to roughly a million plants from over 100 species, as well as 40,000 trees being planted in facades over almost every surface imaginable.
"We have been asked to design an entire city where you don't only have one tall building but you have 100 or 200 buildings of different sizes all with trees and plants on the facades" Boeri told the Guardian.
The project, the world's third, will consist of two tower blocks in Jiangbei New District whose facades will be covered with 1,100 trees and 2,500 cascading plants and shrubs.
Panels of transparent wood could be used for windows or semi-transparent facades, to let light in while still maintaining privacy.

You can relate to almost everyone everywhere if you look past the superficial facades that divide us.
