Forerunners of today’s skylines, towers in 13th-century Bologna were raised by Italian families who fortified city homes to wage war with one another and outsiders. Masonry walls carried the full weight of the towers, limiting their practical height.

Milan’s Vertical Forest | greenmuze.com
“The Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) was designed by Stefan Boeri Architects as part of their BioMilano vision to incorporate 60 abandoned farms into a greenbelt surrounding the city. The Bosco Verticale building has a green façade planted with dense forest systems to provide a building microclimate and to filter out polluting dust particles. The living bio-canopy also absorbs CO2, oxygenates the air, moderates extreme temperatures and lowers noise pollution, providing aesthetic beauty and lowering living costs.”
