Project Summary
Balconies, terraces and sidewalks are the traditional homes of pot plants. The project, Urban greening and economic catalyst, creates a green island – including a plant production area, park, fitness center, hotel and restaurant. Air and water quality improves, social interaction is stimulated. And, as a commercial venture, the greening of the landscape is financed.
