What is solarpunk? And why is it giving hope to people worried about climate change?
Very mainstream coverage, but I guess it's not too bad from that perspective. And yes, green skyscrapers are a stupid idea.
This type of architecture is the literal definition of green washing. It’s just a concrete tower with incredibly difficult to maintain trees. (Probably next to a 6 lane arterial road.)
What's wrong with that for buildings that have already been built?
Good question. Adding trees and other forms of applied solarpunk to concrete "buildings that have already been built" is different than prefabricated green skyscrapers which would surely be greenwashing. Images like the one in the article can be valuable to introduce new people to solarpunk ideas and positive visions of the future.
