The streets are lined with green groves, and the squares with shady gardens: this beautiful, utopian landscape isn't the setting for a science fiction film, but a guide to action. This is the conviction of renowned Italian scientist Stefano Mancuso, a professor at the University of Florence, a popularizer of science, and the author of bestsellers translated into over 30 languages. His book, "Phytopolis: City of Life," published in Russian for the first time, explores the past and future of modern cities. The more cities develop, the closer global warming approaches, which in the foreseeable future could make traditional urban life not only unbearable but impossible. But there's good news: trees can help stop global warming and save cities! Drawing on extensive historical data and the latest discoveries in biology, the author proposes the idea of a phytopolis—a plant-city living in harmony with nature.
