If you look at the skyline of Singapore, you will see a cluster of giant, glowing trees that look like they belong on an alien planet. They tower over the city, reaching up to 160 feet high.
This is Gardens by the Bay , a massive nature park built right in the middle of a dense, busy city. But instead of just planting regular grass and trees, engineers designed a high-tech green space that blends heavy construction with thousands of live plants.
The most famous part of the park is the Supertree Grove. These are not actual trees. They are massive steel towers wrapped in metal wire.
