Mexico has an incredible, recycled garden on a highway | Ways to Change the World

Mexico’s Via Verde creates vertical gardens in cities - green spaces that generate oxygen, improve air quality, reduce urban heat islands and provide psychological benefits to highly populated cities. Architect Fernando Ortiz Monasterio founded Via Verde in 2012, transforming more than 1,000 concrete columns into more than 60,000 square metres of vertical gardens that support Mexico City’s beltway. Via Verde can provide this urban transformation at no cost to the city or its inhabitants through funding provided by dedicating a portion of the transformed area to commercial sponsorship and publicity. Via Verde is a World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer. About the series: Every week we’ll bring you a new video story on the entrepreneurs, companies and countries changing our planet for the better.
