Vertical Forest - Bosco Verticale Milan Italy
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor and drone pilot Dronescapes by Atellani created this amazing aerial video of the Vertical Forest residential towers in the great city of Milan, Italy. They are situated in the Puerto Nuova District, in the shadow of Milan's famous skyscrapers. What distinguishes these residential towers is not their height but the fact that they are covered in greenery. Opened in 2014, each tower has over 900 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 plants. It's a botanists dream in the heart of one of Europe's most dynamic cities.
