I don't see why you wouldn't plan for any type of tangible material changes, especially when discussing a livable and liberated future, so that's definitely something to consider. The building depicted in the photo exists in Milan and has one awards for architecture and urban development so I'm sure its designer. Stefano Boeri, did plan for this. Its been recognized for its positive impact on the environment and urban planning. Not just trees but a wind farm and solar energy equipment are included and the even the colors and species of the trees were planned in advance. While not seemingly super "punk" it seems like a good example of solarpunk ideas in the present which make a solarpunk future seem more plausible. It becomes "greenwashing" on when these ideas are coopted and used to advertise for corporations but I don't see any yogurt ads here so that's not exactly what's happening,
