In an effort to stem the production of toxic gases, China is building a city surrounded by 400,000 trees.
According to the Construcation Climate Challenge, the new Mojor Liuzhou is scheduled to have 30,000 inhabitants and will be home to approximately one million plants from about 100 species of sosh. Also 40,000 trees will be planted on the facade of any possible surface.
Trees and plants will absorb nearly 10,000 tons of CO2 (zero dioxide), 57 tons of pollutants each year, and produce approximately 900 tons of oxygen annually.
They will also reduce the average air temperature, create barriers to noises, and improve biodiversity, creating habitats for birds, candrams, and small animals that live in Liu's territory.
The new forest city of Liuzhou will be linked to the existing town of Liu through fast railway services and electric vehicles; and there are also said to be several schools and two hospitals.
The city aims to be self-sufficient in terms of energy, thanks to solar and geothermal energy sources.
The city is being designed by Italian Stefano Boer, who has already launched a project for two vertical forests like a skyscraper.
