I explore Singapore and its continuous vertical development as it tries to balance the urban cityscape of sky scrapers with artificial nature by installing vast green walls on a quest for vertical liveability.

The building’s green wall measures 24 storeys tall and is expected to save more than $500,000 in energy and water costs annually. A natural insulation, it's primary function is to serve as a vertical green lung and it also has a rainwater harvesting system. Three sky gardens add to the vertical greening at the 7th, 13th and 19th floors. Photo by Suzanne Lee/Panos Pictures

  • Tree-like structures called Supertrees dominate the 'Gardens by the Bay' landscape with heights of up to 50 metres. These vertical gardens perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens. Fitted with environmental technologies that mimic the ecological function of trees – photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy which can be used for some of the functions of the Supertrees, such as lighting (mimicking photosynthesis in nature); and collection of rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, (mimicking rainwater absorption for growth in nature). The Supertrees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the conservatories' cooling systems.<br />
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city. Photo by Suzanne Lee/Panos Pictures

  • People walk past the “Rainforest Rhapsody,” a 2000 square foot indoor vertical garden installed in the lobby of Six Battery Road that contains 120 plant species. In Singapore, skyrise greenery helps to reduce the urban heat island effect, contributing to the city beautification efforts and bringing nature back into its skyscraper office buildings in the central business district.
