Description
Building "green" has now become an economic necessity, especially in Asia's burgeoning megalopolises. From vertical farming in New York City, to a sustainable Panama City office building, to the "Garden City" of Singapore, environmental skyscrapers are helping revive city centers, spare the climate, and check urban sprawl.
