Bosco Verticale (vertical forest) is a pair of residential towers in the Porta Nuova district of Milan, Italy.
It is named so because each tower houses trees between three and six meters which help mitigate smog and produce oxygen. Besides attenuating noise, the plants also help maintain moderate temperatures in the building in the winter and summer.
