Who better to promote the World Forum on Urban Forests than Boeri? The success of Bosco Verticale, which was named the best tall building of 2015 by CTBUH, has led the Italian architect to undertake variations on the vertical-green theme, such as the Nanjing Vertical Forest underway in China. The short film assembles Boeri and other architects in his office holding up placards, à la Bob Dylan, with data about the carbon output of cities and the benefits of more trees in cities. With a global temperature increase of approximately 1ºC since 1880, next year's Forum cannot arrive soon enough.

The World Forum on Urban Forests takes place in Mantova, Italy, next year from 28 November to 1 December.
