Abstract

The overcrowding of major cities around the world and the impossibility of endless extension of physical boundaries leads to expansion in vertical direction. In the major cities around the world, skyscrapers and multifunctional buildings are not new. Vegetation, as an unchanged companion of the human, will also go in a vertical direction in future cities. Today, we are witnessing a breakthrough not only in architecture and landscape architecture in particular, but also in the overall concept of cities in the future, in line with the challenge of global climate change and ever-changing urban aspects.
