From commercial mixed-use to hospitality and social housing, Singapore-based WOHA reinterprets the skyscraper as a prototype for hyper-dense, green urban living.

With airy pathways functioning like living social networks and porous facades of tropical vegetation, GARDEN CITY | MEGA CITY makes the challenges of the emerging metropolis feel less like structural hurdles and more like stimuli for creative solutions.

At a time of climbing urbanization rates and alarming climate change, WOHA’s future prospects for vertical villages serve as an enlightening template for architects, designers and engineers, as well as developers and investors – all those concerned with the future of our cities.
