A spectacular, wavelike steel and glass canopy, 1,300 metres long and 32 metres wide, ripples between eight pavilions that provide 530,000 square metres of floor space.Mr Fuksas's masterpiece is the latest of many regeneration projects that have improved Europe's face as governments, architects and developers have tackled some of industrialisation's ugly legacies.
And in the afternoon, on the other side of the volcano, we take a more adrenalin-fuelled tour through its tree canopy, 40ft above the ground, on zipwires.
Take a moment to stand at the base of No. 59, the Italian stone pine at the corner of 10th and N Streets, and look straight up at a conifer canopy 100 feet wide and 125 feet high.
After a bumpy uphill ride in the back of a pickup truck, nervous tourists are strapped into harnesses and sent on free-falls through the dense jungle canopy — 12 times.

Combined thresholds of remotely sensed height data have commonly been used to classify the urban tree canopy [48].
Therefore, we take into account the "concentration" of leaves in the space occupied by a canopy [27, 28].
The considerable amount of nocturnal O3 flux indicated a significant contribution of non-stomatal factors to canopy O3 uptake.
A simple differencing of two canopy height models (CHM) revealed the loss of 4.1% of tall canopy (>30 m) over the timeframe of image acquisition (~1.5 years).
Canopy CO2 exchange rates (CCER) and evapotranspiration (EC) closely tracked transitional changes of radiation and potential evaporation, respectively.
