These photos show a design for a forest city in Mexico, not a palace in EthiopiaA set of photos shared on Facebook purportedly shows designs for a new palace under construction in a forest in Ethiopia’s capital. However, this is false: two of the photos show the design for a smart forest city in Mexico, not Ethiopia, while a third shows a winding road in Germany. However, the photos accompanying the post do not show the design of the palace in Addis Ababa as claimed. Unrelated photoAFP Fact Check conducted reverse image searches and established that two of the photos show a smart forest city in Mexico, not Ethiopia. The first photo shows a design for a smart city in Mexico by the Italian architectural firm Stefano Boeri Architetti.
