Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
China's New 'Forest City' Will Make You
Rethink Urban Cities
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
• Liuzhou Forest City, a new green city planned
to be built near Liuzhou, a mountain area in
Guangxi, China, will be the first such green
project in China as well as the rest of the world.
• The project, which will house more than 30,000
inhabitants, is being undertaken by Liuzhou
Municipality Urban Planning.
• The master plan was designed by Stefano Boeri
Architetti in association with Tongyan
Architectural and Planning Design.

• The green city will be entirely self-
sustaining and will help to reduce pollution.
Construction of the city is set to begin in 2020,
after undertaking careful planning and research
into the various aspects of the city.

• Development of Liuzhou Forest City follows
the successful implementation of similar
projects by Stefano Boeri, including Bosco
Verticale in Milan, Italy, and the under-
construction Nanjing Vertical Forest in
Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
• The project is expected to serve as an
example to future investors and developers
to build similar forest cities in the country.

Liuzhou Forest City project purpose
• Rapid industrialisation has led China to become the
world’s biggest greenhouse gases emitter. The
country’s reliance on coal-fired plants has further
worsened the emissions.
• Industrialisation has led to the rapid deterioration of
China’s air quality, despite helping millions of citizens
escape poverty. Large parts of the country are plagued
with problems of smog, which has caused health
problems and deaths.
• Overpopulation is another concern in the country,
creating the constant need for living spaces.
Rapid industrialisation has led China to
become the world’s biggest greenhouse gases
emitter
Liuzhou Forest City project purpose
• Liuzhou Forest City is a result of China’s plans
to create attractive residential areas outside its
main cities and to move more than two million
people to rural areas in order to curb migration
and poverty, while increasing modernisation.
• The project complies with new regulations
aimed at developing eco-friendly and
sustainable buildings.
• It will help to reduce pollution, while creating
appealing urban spaces.
Liuzhou Forest City project purpose
Masterplan details of the new green
city
• The Liuzhou Forest City master plan envisages
the development of a 138.5ha area located
along the Liujiang river.
• It will include houses, hotels, villas, offices,
hospitals, schools, commercial and retail spaces,
and recreational areas.
• The buildings will be aligned along the river,
serving as an urban bridge to the new Liuzhou
city under construction across the river.

Masterplan details of the new green city
• All the buildings will be covered by plants
and trees of various shapes and sizes.
• The city is expected to host 40,000 trees and
more than one million plants of approximately
100 species.
• The trees and plants will be located in
parks, gardens and streets, as well as the
facades of the buildings.
All the buildings will be covered by
plants and trees of various shapes and sizes
Masterplan details of the new green
city
• The greenery will absorb approximately
10,000t of carbon dioxide and 57t of
pollutants such as soot and fine dust, while
producing approximately 900t of oxygen a
year.
• It will also help in reducing the average air
temperature, provide noise barriers, and
improve biodiversity by creating a habitat
for birds, insects and small animals.

Sustainable features of Liuzhou Forest
City
• In addition to the large green cover, the Forest
City will be energy self-sufficient.
• Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the
building in order to produce renewable energy
and electricity for air-conditioning will be sourced
from geothermal energy.
• The new city will use only electric vehicles for
transportation and will be connected to the
main city through a high-speed electric line.
Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the
building in order to produce renewable energy and

• Liuzhou Forest City is the first Forest City in
the world: an urban body in which offices, houses,
hotels, hospitals and schools are almost entirely
covered by plants and trees of a wide range of
varieties and sizes.
• Spread over an area of ​​around 175 hectares
along the Liujiang River, the master-plan
commissioned by Liuzhou Municipality Urban
Planning is currently being implemented.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou

• The project extends the successful
experimentation already underway for the
first time in Milan with the Vertical Forest
building-prototype, proposing and
developing a model of architecture and
habitat capable of interpreting the theme of
biodiversity on an urban scale and redefining
the relationship between humans and other
living species.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
• In addition to hosting about 30,000
inhabitants, the new city will provide a
comfortable living environment for plants and
trees on all buildings: in all, the Liuzhou
Forest City will host about 40,000 trees and 1
million plants from more than 100 different
species.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou

• The new urban organism designed and
developed for the Chinese city of Liuzhou by
Stefano Boeri Architetti will work like a large
sustainable machine in that it will be able to
absorb about 10,000 tons of CO2 and 57 tons
of micro-particles every year, producing
about 900 tons of oxygen at the same time
thereby combating the serious problem of
air pollution.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou

• The distribution of plants not just along the
avenues in parks and gardens but also on the
facades of buildings means that a city already
designed to be self-sufficient in terms of energy
will also be able to improve air quality, reduce
the average temperature of the urban heat
island, generate a barrier against acoustic
pollution and increase the biodiversity of living
species through the generation of a rich ecosystem
of living spaces for birds, insects and small
animals that already inhabit the territory
surrounding Liuzhou.

• In addition, in terms of an inhabited settlement, the
new Liuzhou Forest City has been conceived and
developed as a real “porous model”: an urban
organism that is sensitive and attentive to the
specific qualities and values ​​of the environment.
• This design approach develops naturally starting from
the planimetric layout, designed to integrate
harmoniously with the geography of the
surrounding mountains, follow their morphology
and incorporate the particular qualities of the local
landscape.

• This approach also corresponds to a careful
study of the technological, infrastructural and
distribution characteristics of the large urban
complex.

• When China decides to do something, the
country can be incredibly agile and quick in
implementation.
• One example is the construction of a "Forest
City" that pushes the boundaries of
sustainable urban planning and
development, a concept the EPA
should certainly take a look at.

• The Chinese government has broken
ground on this Forest City with the
ambitious plan to have it fully completed by
2020, an urban development that will be
covered in plants and solar panels.
• The city will sit along the Liujiang River in
the mountainous region of Guangxi in
southern China.

Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
• The design is the brainchild of Stefano Boeri
Architetti (SBA), an Italian architectural
agency known for environmentally focused
urban designs.
• A key premise for this Forest City will be to
fight air pollution that has engulfed many of
China's metropolitan areas and remains a
critical health threat to the Chinese people.

• The city will include typical buildings such
as schools, offices, hotels, hospitals, and
homes of course.
• Albeit, these will all be covered in thousands
of trees and plants of various species.

• Below are some key statistics about the city,
including its ability to scrub the air of CO2
and pollutants and release oxygen.
• As the city ages and trees become older they
will only absorb more CO2 and become more
effective.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
• A single adult tree can absorb 48 pounds of
CO2 and about 260 pounds of oxygen per year.
This is because trees, opposite to humans,
take in CO2 and release oxygen during
photosynthesis.
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou
• 10,000 tons of CO2 absorption per year
• 57 tons of pollutant absorption per year
• 900 tons of oxygen produced per year
• 30,000 inhabitants
• 40,000 tress within the city
• 1 million plants and over 100 species within
the city
Smart Forest City, Liuzhou

• The abundance of plants will improve many
aspects of the city such as air quality and
pollution.
• A few key side benefits include a lower
average air temperature, improved biodiversity
of plants and animals in the area, noise
barriers, and an ecosystem for birds and
insects.

• The Forest City will also boast geothermal
energy for air conditioning of the buildings
and solar panels on roofs to supplement.
• To get around the residents will be able to use
an electric rail line that goes through the
center of the city in addition to electric cars.

• Dense forests have also become a great source of
revenue for locals, like Saihanba, a vast man-made
forest covering about 93,000 hectares in north
China’s Hebei Province, 400 km north of Beijing, is
a case in point.
• Over the years, Saihanba Forest Farm has developed
in a sustainable way, with economic growth relying on
tourism, tree planting, wind power generation and
logging.
• The greening sectors bring in over 89.55 million U.S.
dollars annually, outweighing the revenue from
logging operations in the past, data show.

• Forest parks are now popular attractions of tourism
in the country. Last year, tourists made 1.6 billion
trips to forest parks across the country, and forest-
themed tourism has become a third pillar of the
forestry industry, said Cheng Hong, a senior official
with the National Forestry and Grassland
Administration.
• A great model for dry soil countries with cemented
urban areas to consider redesigning. Stefano Boeri is
an inspiration offering sustainability in Architecture
and urban lifestyle, to both the State and the public.

• This ambitious plan will be an example to the
global community on how to build sustainable
cities that help cut down on pollution while at the
same time generate biodiversity and fresh oxygen.
• This concept may not work exactly as built
here for every city but there are certainly ideas
and best practices that can be implemented
around the world. This is especially true in
highly populated polluted areas that are badly
in need of more green space.

Smart Forest City

  • 1. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou China's New 'Forest City' Will Make You Rethink Urban Cities
  • 2. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • Liuzhou Forest City, a new green city planned to be built near Liuzhou, a mountain area in Guangxi, China, will be the first such green project in China as well as the rest of the world. • The project, which will house more than 30,000 inhabitants, is being undertaken by Liuzhou Municipality Urban Planning. • The master plan was designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti in association with Tongyan Architectural and Planning Design.
  • 3. Mountain Area In Guangxi, China
  • 5. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The green city will be entirely self- sustaining and will help to reduce pollution. Construction of the city is set to begin in 2020, after undertaking careful planning and research into the various aspects of the city.
  • 7. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • Development of Liuzhou Forest City follows the successful implementation of similar projects by Stefano Boeri, including Bosco Verticale in Milan, Italy, and the under- construction Nanjing Vertical Forest in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. • The project is expected to serve as an example to future investors and developers to build similar forest cities in the country.
  • 8. Bosco Verticale in Milan, Italy
  • 9. Nanjing Vertical Forest in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
  • 10. Liuzhou Forest City project purpose • Rapid industrialisation has led China to become the world’s biggest greenhouse gases emitter. The country’s reliance on coal-fired plants has further worsened the emissions. • Industrialisation has led to the rapid deterioration of China’s air quality, despite helping millions of citizens escape poverty. Large parts of the country are plagued with problems of smog, which has caused health problems and deaths. • Overpopulation is another concern in the country, creating the constant need for living spaces.
  • 11. Rapid industrialisation has led China to become the world’s biggest greenhouse gases emitter
  • 12. Liuzhou Forest City project purpose • Liuzhou Forest City is a result of China’s plans to create attractive residential areas outside its main cities and to move more than two million people to rural areas in order to curb migration and poverty, while increasing modernisation. • The project complies with new regulations aimed at developing eco-friendly and sustainable buildings. • It will help to reduce pollution, while creating appealing urban spaces.
  • 13. Liuzhou Forest City project purpose
  • 14. Masterplan details of the new green city • The Liuzhou Forest City master plan envisages the development of a 138.5ha area located along the Liujiang river. • It will include houses, hotels, villas, offices, hospitals, schools, commercial and retail spaces, and recreational areas. • The buildings will be aligned along the river, serving as an urban bridge to the new Liuzhou city under construction across the river.
  • 15. Masterplan details of the new green city
  • 16. Masterplan details of the new green city • All the buildings will be covered by plants and trees of various shapes and sizes. • The city is expected to host 40,000 trees and more than one million plants of approximately 100 species. • The trees and plants will be located in parks, gardens and streets, as well as the facades of the buildings.
  • 17. All the buildings will be covered by plants and trees of various shapes and sizes
  • 18. Masterplan details of the new green city • The greenery will absorb approximately 10,000t of carbon dioxide and 57t of pollutants such as soot and fine dust, while producing approximately 900t of oxygen a year. • It will also help in reducing the average air temperature, provide noise barriers, and improve biodiversity by creating a habitat for birds, insects and small animals.
  • 19. The greenery will absorb approximately 10,000t of carbon dioxide and 57t of pollutants
  • 20. Sustainable features of Liuzhou Forest City • In addition to the large green cover, the Forest City will be energy self-sufficient. • Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the building in order to produce renewable energy and electricity for air-conditioning will be sourced from geothermal energy. • The new city will use only electric vehicles for transportation and will be connected to the main city through a high-speed electric line.
  • 21. Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the building in order to produce renewable energy and electricity for air-conditioning
  • 22. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • Liuzhou Forest City is the first Forest City in the world: an urban body in which offices, houses, hotels, hospitals and schools are almost entirely covered by plants and trees of a wide range of varieties and sizes. • Spread over an area of ​​around 175 hectares along the Liujiang River, the master-plan commissioned by Liuzhou Municipality Urban Planning is currently being implemented.
  • 24. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The project extends the successful experimentation already underway for the first time in Milan with the Vertical Forest building-prototype, proposing and developing a model of architecture and habitat capable of interpreting the theme of biodiversity on an urban scale and redefining the relationship between humans and other living species.
  • 25. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • In addition to hosting about 30,000 inhabitants, the new city will provide a comfortable living environment for plants and trees on all buildings: in all, the Liuzhou Forest City will host about 40,000 trees and 1 million plants from more than 100 different species.
  • 27. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The new urban organism designed and developed for the Chinese city of Liuzhou by Stefano Boeri Architetti will work like a large sustainable machine in that it will be able to absorb about 10,000 tons of CO2 and 57 tons of micro-particles every year, producing about 900 tons of oxygen at the same time thereby combating the serious problem of air pollution.
  • 29. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The distribution of plants not just along the avenues in parks and gardens but also on the facades of buildings means that a city already designed to be self-sufficient in terms of energy will also be able to improve air quality, reduce the average temperature of the urban heat island, generate a barrier against acoustic pollution and increase the biodiversity of living species through the generation of a rich ecosystem of living spaces for birds, insects and small animals that already inhabit the territory surrounding Liuzhou.
  • 31. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • In addition, in terms of an inhabited settlement, the new Liuzhou Forest City has been conceived and developed as a real “porous model”: an urban organism that is sensitive and attentive to the specific qualities and values ​​of the environment. • This design approach develops naturally starting from the planimetric layout, designed to integrate harmoniously with the geography of the surrounding mountains, follow their morphology and incorporate the particular qualities of the local landscape.
  • 32. Liuzhou Forest City has been conceived and developed as a real “porous model”
  • 33. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • This approach also corresponds to a careful study of the technological, infrastructural and distribution characteristics of the large urban complex.
  • 35. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • When China decides to do something, the country can be incredibly agile and quick in implementation. • One example is the construction of a "Forest City" that pushes the boundaries of sustainable urban planning and development, a concept the EPA should certainly take a look at.
  • 36. When China decides to do something, the country can be incredibly agile and quick in implementation
  • 37. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The Chinese government has broken ground on this Forest City with the ambitious plan to have it fully completed by 2020, an urban development that will be covered in plants and solar panels. • The city will sit along the Liujiang River in the mountainous region of Guangxi in southern China.
  • 39. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The design is the brainchild of Stefano Boeri Architetti (SBA), an Italian architectural agency known for environmentally focused urban designs. • A key premise for this Forest City will be to fight air pollution that has engulfed many of China's metropolitan areas and remains a critical health threat to the Chinese people.
  • 40. Stefano Boeri Architetti (SBA), an Italian architectural agency known for environmentally focused urban designs
  • 41. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The city will include typical buildings such as schools, offices, hotels, hospitals, and homes of course. • Albeit, these will all be covered in thousands of trees and plants of various species.
  • 43. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • Below are some key statistics about the city, including its ability to scrub the air of CO2 and pollutants and release oxygen. • As the city ages and trees become older they will only absorb more CO2 and become more effective.
  • 45. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • A single adult tree can absorb 48 pounds of CO2 and about 260 pounds of oxygen per year. This is because trees, opposite to humans, take in CO2 and release oxygen during photosynthesis.
  • 46. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • 10,000 tons of CO2 absorption per year • 57 tons of pollutant absorption per year • 900 tons of oxygen produced per year • 30,000 inhabitants • 40,000 tress within the city • 1 million plants and over 100 species within the city
  • 48. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The abundance of plants will improve many aspects of the city such as air quality and pollution. • A few key side benefits include a lower average air temperature, improved biodiversity of plants and animals in the area, noise barriers, and an ecosystem for birds and insects.
  • 50. Smart Forest City, Liuzhou • The Forest City will also boast geothermal energy for air conditioning of the buildings and solar panels on roofs to supplement. • To get around the residents will be able to use an electric rail line that goes through the center of the city in addition to electric cars.
