Santalaia is one of the coolest Vertical Garden Projects in the world. With over 3,117 Squared Meters (33,000 Sq. Feet) this project is much more than a vertical Garden. It is a living building.
This project is located in Bogotá, Colombia and it is becoming an important icon that reminds us about the importance of having nature, and specifically plants, in our daily lives. There are really no more words to describe it, the project speaks for itself.
The project was built in collaboration between builder and designer Exacta Proyecto Total, Paisajismo Urbano (Vertical Garden Technology) and Groncol (Vertical garden and green roof designer and installer.

Nearly 600 electric buses for Bogotá, Colombia in 2020: Largest Electric Bus Fleet in Latin America
Colombian capital Bogotá will add 594 new all-electric buses to its TransMilenio public bus system in 2020, giving the city the largest electric bus fleet in Latin America, Bogotá Mayor Enrique Peñalosa said.
The 594 initial electric buses will represent the first phase of TransMilenio’s upgrade toward an environmentally friendly fleet that improves city air quality. Another phase will include “other low emission technologies” to complete a fleet of nearly 2,800 buses.
It’s unclear if the next phase will involve any electric buses, or how many, or what those other technologies might entail. But Peñalosa tweeted that Bogotá’s electric bus fleet will be made up of “at least” 594 out of 2,779 vehicles, and possibly more.
