From the Back Cover

Along with the development of urbanisation, more and more human beings become urban dwellers. Statistics show that the urban population spend 70%-80% of their time indoor, especially for infants, the elderly and disabled persons; the indoor air pollution can cause shocking harm to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Indoor gardens could lower room temperature, increase humidity, absorb harmful gases etc. Plants are irreplaceable in these functions. The other advantage of green spaces with plants is that they can relieve nervous tension suffered by most urbanites.

An indoor garden is no doubt a good beginning for a healthier city. This book includes some of the world's latest cases, to present readers the interior landscape of new design concepts and design techniques. Architects, landscape designers, related engineering and management staff can all find good references in this book.
