摘要: Abstract Urbanization has environmental and economic advantages for humans, but also substantial disadvantages, including increased problems with physical mental health/stress, a modified climate, water energy management, air pollution. Ecosystem services delivered by vegetation (green infrastructure) have the potential to help tackle these challenges. While opportunities create more cover at ground level are limited in dense urban areas, using relatively unused vertical domain, i.e., greening surface of building structures (roofs walls), significantly increase area available.
