Vertical gardens are aesthetically pleasing, space-saving, and sustainable additions to our cities. Fewer of us have access to garden space as cities become more crowded and reliant on apartment living. By 2050, around 80% of the world's population will be living in cities. The development of inventive urban gardens, such as rooftop farms, balcony herb gardens, and grass walls in the inner city, has been one creative solution to this. There are various advantages to vertical gardening: Not only does it save space, but it also protects your crop from pests and illnesses.  When you raise your vegetables vertically, they become much easier to target.  It allows you to create a stunning garden on any wall or vacant space.  Vertical gardens contribute to healthy air circulation regardless of whether they are built indoors or outside. Most apartments have a small outdoor space, like a balcony or patio but this doesn’t mean you should think small in your gardening. Vertical gard...

"Design has never been this important. Here’s how we can develop the change to help people and society adapt this crisis and prepare for the future" How previous pandemic redesigned world?  From antibacterial brass doorknobs to broad, well-ventilated boulevards, our cities and buildings have always been shaped by disease.  It was cholera that influenced the modern street grid, as 19th-century epidemics prompted the introduction of sewage systems that required the roads above them to be wider and straighter, along with new zoning laws to prevent overcrowding.  The third plague pandemic, a bubonic outbreak that began in China in 1855, changed the design of everything from drain pipes to door thresholds and building foundations, in the global war against the rat.  And the wipe-clean aesthetic of modernism was partly a result of tuberculosis, with light-flooded sanatoriums inspiring an era of white-painted rooms, hygienic tiled bathrooms and the ubiquitous mid-century re...
