Forest Eco City Plans for China

China has unveiled plans for a unique forest eco city in the southeast of the country.

Italian architects Stefano Boeri Architetti have been commissioned to develop the stunning 175 hectare ‘forested’ development in Guangxi province. When completed, the ‘Forest City’ will feature 40,000 trees in a residential development for 30,000 people.

Beyond the lifestyle experience, the ‘living’ exteriors of the buildings have been designed to filter 57 tons of pollutants from the air while producing 90 million tons of oxygen.

Power will reportedly come from ground-source heat pumps and solar panels, and transport will be provided by an electrified railway.
