    (University of Management and Technology, 2018) YOUSAF, AZKA
    Urbanization has greatly affect the natural environment .With the innovation of technology most people are attracted to machines .Whereas looking over the plant life that is a major part of eco- system on which the organization of world is based. If we look around, we will notice that plants are essential to maintain the balance of nature .Negligence to it can lead to destruction of our entire Biosphere .Every organism in this world, directly or indirectly, is linked with plants relying on it .This is why botanical garden and research center is a need for world where the tremendous environmental changes are affecting climate not only on global scale but on micro level also. Botanical Research center is a center dedicated to the plants researches only. Species of plants are taken into account and experiments are performed and botanical garden is garden with variety of plant species grown for the public awareness and vivarium in a wider sense is a botanical garden that is based on conservatory purpose. This project has been chosen in order to fill the space between nature and humankind. As we know Pakistan is enriched with fertile soil and taking the advantage of this blessing, there is more need as well as scope of botany related studies, So with help of new innovation, technologies and discoveries in botany could give rise to advancement in medical care units through different herbs, there could be more variety, could change architecture by designing plantation on building fronts. Our solution involves the construction of an Modern botany research center with hi-tech vertical green house, and a civic garden and farmers market to involve the local public which altogether make a platform where not only scientists works for the solution but also students, farmers and public contributes their part in this challenge of growing population with the demand of more food in less agriculture land. This will lead us to one anticipated long-terms benefits that would be the gradual repair of many of the world’s damaged ecosystems through the systematic abandonment of farmland. In temperate and tropical zones, the regrowth of hardwood forests could play a significant role in carbon sequestration and many help reverse current trends in global climate change. Other benefits of vertical farming include the creation of a sustainable urban environment that encourages good health for all who choose to live there; new employment opportunities, cleaner air, safe use of municipal liquid waste, and abundant supply of safe drinking water.
