森林城市:解決中國空氣污染的激進計劃

When Stefano Boeri imagines the future of urban China he sees green and lots of it. Office blocks homes and hotels decked from top to toe in a verdant blaze of shrubbery and plant life; a breath of fresh air for metropolises that are choking on a toxic diet of fumes and dust.

當Stefano Boeri想象未來的中國城市，他看到了很多的綠色。辦公大樓，住宅和酒店從上到下被灌木叢和植物覆蓋；大都市不再被有毒的氣體，煙霧以及塵埃包圍取而代之的是新鮮的空氣。

Last week the Italian architect famed for his tree-clad Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) skyscraper complex in Milan unveiled plans for a similar project in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing.

上週在中國的東部南京市，意大利建築師公佈了一個類似於他在米蘭聞名的Bosco Verticale(垂直森林）的項目。

The Chinese equivalent ? Boeri's first in Asia ? will be composed of two neighbouring towers coated with 23 species of tree and more than 2500 cascading shrubs. The structures will reportedly house offices a 247-room luxury hotel a museum and even a green architecture school and are currently under construction set for completion next year.

這座建築將會有兩個相鄰的被23種樹，2500多層級聯灌木的塔組成。據報道，這個建築將爲辦公室，一個擁有247個客房的酒店，一個博物館以及一個綠色建築學校提供空間，目前正在施工中，預計明年完工。

But Boeri now has even bolder plans for China: to create entire “forest cities” in a country that has become synonymous with environmental degradation and smog.

不過現在， Boeri有更加龐大、適合中國的計劃： 在這個環境惡化和有霧霾的國家建造名副其實的“森林城市”。

“你甚至可以品嚐到空氣中的味道。”如果你生活在污染嚴重的城市裏，就會有這樣的體驗。

“We have been asked to design an entire city where you don't only have one tall building but you have 100 or 200 buildings of different sizes all with trees and plants on the facades” Boeri told the Guardian. “We are working very seriously on designing all the different buildings. I think they will start to build at the end of this year. By 2020 we could imagine having the first forest city in China.”

“我們被要求設計這樣一座城市：不但有一座摩天大樓，而且還有100個或200個不同大小的建築，這些建築的外牆被樹和植物完全覆蓋。”Boeri對衛報說，“我們非常認真地設計這些與衆不同的建築。我估計他們會在今年年底開始建造。在2020年，我們可能會看到第一座在中國建成的森林城市。”
