I’ve spent decades visiting the world’s most famous urban parks, from Central Park’s 843 acres of rolling lawns to Hyde Park’s Serpentine Lake. But standing beneath Singapore’s 160-foot solar-powered Supertrees at sunset, watching photovoltaic panels glow while generating electricity, I realized something: traditional parks are stuck in the 19th century.
