In a recent feature by AD Magazine, Mingzhu Nerval’s co-founder Mingzhu and senior landscape manager Francesca shared their forward-thinking vision for the future of green urban living in Shanghai.

The interview focused on how biophilic urban design is transforming the city’s identity—where nature is no longer an afterthought, but a defining feature of architecture and lifestyle.

They explored how luxury vertical gardens, nature-integrated facades, and green rooftops are becoming essential to both private and public developments in Shanghai. As sustainability becomes inseparable from quality and prestige, Mingzhu Nerval is shaping the city’s green evolution through innovation, design precision, and botanical expertise.
