Stefano Boeri Architetti combined the concept of "Vertical Forest" and "Farm of agricultural industry" in its newly-unveiled urban vertical farm titled "Urban Vertical Farm of Brightfood". The project explored a new way of urban production in metropolitan areas by combining greenery, food production, and visual aesthetics in a 110,000 square-meter structure. In addition to its ecological features, the new urban agricultural complex offers commercial and office spaces in the vibrant city of Shanghai.

The project comes as a response to the crises people have been experiencing during the past previous years as a result of the spread of urbanization, which include the reduction of production land area and the destruction of living spaces for animals and plants. Based on these problematics, the architecture firm explored a new way of urban production and life, proposing a solution that meets the demand for food in the world's metropolitan areas.
