most animals can't live in city even with some structure like that, it increase the populations of some animals that like it and are then are wining the competition over their fellow competitor because they become numerous and the species who is outnumber slowly dissapear, its observed with a lot of species, specialy bird on urban area, you see this with piegeons, structure like this only makes it a little better. anaway to make it short even with structure like this, species dissapear and a lot of animals diversity is lost. so its an exellent way for a few species to live together with human, good idea too for that and for other reasons.

What for, having the carbon footprint of a small country himself, or for telling everyone else not to travel around the world.
For people nagging in the comments, this is for you: Singapore is aiming to become a city in a garden. If you ever have been to Singapore you'd find luscious green almost anywhere within your vicinity. The drive through the highways are littered with trees and flowers. Your walk from your apartment to your nearest public transport is ALSO filled with trees providing shade, and lots of grass and flowers. Animals are abundant in the wildlife reserves in singapore, and you often see monkeys, chipmunks and iguanas and plenty of birds roaming around Singapore. The trees in this VERTICAL space are meant to do exactly what they are doing. Provide more greenery and shade in their specific areas. This is Singapore, its 600sqkm wide....... Top 5 most expensive cities in the world to live in. They're doing a great job implementing various ways to keep the city closer to nature with their limited land and resources.

What you actually have is a thriving soil that allows plants like trees to grow and feed off its nutrient web. The trees and plants themselves are COMPLETELY meaningless. The living soil is what matters. And the vast majority of the living soil is succumbing to desertification. When the soils all die (it's already happening) we all die. And this could happen as soon as 2110 and result in global human extinction by 2150. Plants and animals are meaningless. The trillions upon trillions of microbial animals that make up living healthy soil are what allows ALL other life on land to exist. There is no human alternative. The Nazi Agriculture model we are using is poisoning the land faster for short term gains in production.

I live in Singapore. But I do not think that we are saving the world. For example, Singapore is highly airconditioned and this is not the most earth friendly thing to do. Singapore may be taking a step in the right direction by planting a lot of trees, but unless we can come out with renewable, safe and clean energy sources, this does not offset the carbon footprint that we leave behind.

that's mainly due to the geographical location, though. in a slightly colder climate this would have a phenomenonal impact.

planting trees is meaningless, it's the soil that's dead and rapidly dying off. Without the soil, no trees, no food, no anything. We have to save it right now are humanity is on a countdown to extinction. This is not a drill. Putting trees on buildings is for spoiled rich assholes who want to look at trees from their skyscraper windows.
Being praised by Sir David Attenborough about efforts to preserving nature is one the highest honour city of Singapore can get.

Edward G. Robinson in "Soylent Green".
David Attenborough is and will always be one of the greatest men in the history, in his own unique way. How he shares his knowledge and vision of this world, its just very sad that not enough people cares.
What a beautiful message
I love his voice. It's like a Buddhist early morning chanting that rejuvenate inner power and peace. So simple yet very powerful to make you believe every word comes out of his mouth. 🙏 Bless you

"voice" The problem is, if the sound effect is above the content, then it's going to be difficult if you're not just into sound effect.

@@porkch0p33 Singapore does not have a fishing industry. However, we do have the tallest fish farm in Southeast Asia. Instead of dredging ocean floors or over-fishing in the sea. We have land-based fish farms which are more sustainable. We are not self sufficient in fish farming but short of banning consumption of fish, such technologies will be better for the environment.
Sir, you really are an international treasure
