Editor's Note:
The construction site of a new residential community is in full swing in Xindu District, Chengdu,Southwest China, Sichuan Province, on November 23. The community is the first 4th generation housing project in China. This is also the first “vertical forest” residential community in the area, with each balcony converted into a private garden. The 4th generation housing focuses on increasing the green rate, finding new space for plant growth and developing vertical greening to become an effective means to improve the modern urban ecological environment.
