Vertical Forest human friendly (Milan apt.) VS mosquito friendly (Chengdu apt).

Vertical Forest - apartment, human friendly in Milan apartment VS mosquito friendly in Chengdu apartment.

Apartment in Cheung Du, southwestern China’s Sichuan province, promising “Vertical Forest” overrun by plants and invaded by mosquito infestation.

An experimental green housing project in a Chinese megacity promised prospective residents life in a "vertical forest", with manicured gardens on every balcony. All 826 apartments were sold out by April this year, according to the project's estate agent, but instead of a modern eco-paradise, the towers look like the set of a desolate, post-apocalyptic film.

The problem was the mosquitoes, they love the plants too.
