Housing Project Turns Into Mosquito-Infested Jungle With Overgrown Plants

Beijing, an experimental green housing project in a Chinese megacity promised prospective residents life in a “vertical forest”, came with manicured gardens on every balcony. In April this year, according to the project’s estate agent, 826 apartments were sold but instead of a modern eco-paradise like what it should be, the towers look like the set of a desolate, post-apocalyptic film.

This ec0-paradise housing has a great look with the plants decorated nicely but the plants also attracted the mosquitoes. It said that only a handful of families have moved into Chengdu’s Qiyi City Forest Garden because of an infestation.

The house in the south-western city was built in 2018, with every private balcony designed to provide space for plants to grow. The plants have been overrun the eight towers without any tenants to care for them and now invaded by mosquitoes.

It can be seen that plants have almost entirely swallowed up some neglected balconies. The image shows branches hanging over railings all over the towers.

Paper also was seen taped over some of the windows that were still visible behind the overgrown plants. Since it’s opened, only about 10 families have moved into the buildings.
