Vertical Greening Systems and Sustainable Cities

Urban development is causing environmental and social concerns that are compromising human welfare and cities sustainability. New urban greening concepts are appearing in order to mitigate these problems in a sustainable and natural way. Vertical greening systems can be defined as structures which a...
