What are some examples of sustainable architecture in urban areas?

1. One Central Park, Sydney: A 34-story residential building that integrates green walls, vertical gardens, and photovoltaic panels for energy generation.

2. Bosco Verticale, Milan: A pair of towers that feature over 900 trees and over 20,000 plants. The towers use a greywater system for irrigation and feature solar panels for energy generation.

3. Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Singapore: A healthcare facility that features a green roof, rainwater harvesting, and solar panels for energy generation.

4. The Edge, Amsterdam: An office building that uses smart sensors and solar panels to monitor and reduce energy consumption. It also features a green roof and rainwater harvesting.

5. The Bullitt Center, Seattle: A six-story office building that uses rainwater harvesting, composting toilets, and solar panels for net-zero energy consumption.

6. The Crystal, London: A conference center that uses solar panels, a ground-source heat pump, and a rainwater harvesting system to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.

7. The Dock, Dublin: A co-working space that uses sustainable materials, energy-efficient lighting, and rainwater harvesting for reducing environmental impact.

8. The EcoARK, Taipei: A building made entirely out of recycled plastic that uses solar panels for energy generation and rainwater harvesting.

9. The Pixel, Melbourne: An apartment building that uses solar panels, wind turbines, and rainwater harvesting for energy and water needs.

10. The Shanghai Tower, China: A 632-meter tall skyscraper that uses a rainwater harvesting system, highly efficient elevators, and a double skin facade for energy efficiency.
