I think "forest" is a bit of a reach.
Seems like proof of concept, where they'd want. A cluster of these on a block to add green to horizon. Not sure how well they'd grow, particularly on the lower floors, if neighboring buildings are blocking sunlight. And add grow lamps would be a huge energy hog.
From the article it appears that most of the buildings will be more terraced, which would make sense.
They build something like that in Copenhagen in 2008, though it's just 11 stories tall.
It's situated in between other tall buildings.
