Excellent- More about Garden City: Supergreen Buildings, Urban Skyscapes and the New Planted Space
Garden City is a global survey of new buildings that merge architecture and nature to transform cities for a sustainable future, featuring seventy projects from around the world.

Concrete horizons, urban sprawl, and high-density living have never been more pressing for our cities and their buildings. While occasional vertical gardens or living roofs may be a step in the right direction, what is truly needed is a comprehensive approach to greening. Garden City, a stunning global survey of innovative projects that blend architecture and nature, seeks to explore the increasingly inventive ways in which architects and designers are incorporating nature into the built environment.
The book features seventy projects from around the world, some already built, some ongoing, and some from the future. These projects showcase a wide range of approaches, from office buildings that incorporate urban farms and exchange CO2 for food and oxygen to lightweight systems for growing gardens on vertical surfaces. From "tree houses the size of city blocks to civic buildings that are 'plugged into existing water-management systems," there are rich and often unexpected ideas for every inquisitive designer.
The future of urban architecture is envisioned as biologically alert, naturally self-sustaining, and alive. Garden City serves as a manifesto for this future, offering a glimpse into the possibilities that await us as we strive to create more sustainable and livable cities.
