Residents shun Chinese 'vertical forest' housing project because trees meant to revolutionise urban living just attracted plagues of mosquitosAll 826 apartments in Chengdu, China, were sold out by April this year, according to the project's estate agent, but instead of a modern eco-paradise, the towers look like the set of a desolate, post-apocalyptic film. Only a handful of families have moved into Chengdu's Qiyi City Forest Garden because of an infestation of mosquitoes, state media have reported. The project in the southwestern city was built in 2018, with every private balcony designed to provide space for plants to grow.
