SOM's proposal for a 'green island' in Shanghai

"In SOM’s conception, Chongming was positioned as a 'green island' with its urban development confined to eight new, distinct, and highly-compact coastal cities. Each would consist of walkable, transit-rich districts built at a high-enough density to enable a population of nearly a million people to live and work in only 15 percent of the island’s total area"

Smog Scrubber building

"Architect Vincent Callebaut’s latest project balances public galleries, meeting rooms and gathering spaces over canals and abandoned railroad tracks in the 19th Parisian district. The prototype uses green technologies and techniques but is more than just an example of sustainable design. Callebaut’s ‘Anti Smog: An Innovation Centre in Sustainable Development’ is a catalyst for cleaner air."
