Vertical greenery as a way to improve the quality of life in the city - a guide for Investors, Architects and Designers
Why is vertical greenery the key to better urban living?
Today's cities face a number of challenges, such as air pollution, scarcity of greenery and increasing demand for space. Vertical greenery is an innovative solution that not only enhances the aesthetics of urban spaces, but also improves the quality of life for residents. In this guide, we will outline the benefits of vertical greenery and give tips on how to effectively implement this trend in architectural and investment projects.
What is vertical greenery?
Vertical greenery, also known as green walls or facades, are plant systems installed on vertical surfaces of buildings. These can be special modules, panels or pockets in which a variety of plant species are placed. Such installations have aesthetic, ecological and practical functions.
Benefits of vertical greenery
- Improving air quality: plants absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, significantly improving urban air quality.
- Noise protection: vertical greenery acts as a natural acoustic barrier, reducing road noise.
- Thermoregulation of buildings: green façades help to maintain the optimum temperature inside buildings, reducing air conditioning costs in summer and heating costs in winter.
- Aesthetics and prestige: green walls attract attention and increase the value of the property, giving it a modern and eco-friendly character.
- Improved health and well-being: contact with nature in an urban space promotes better mental and physical health for residents.
How does vertical greenery support urban sustainability?
- Rainwater retention: green façade systems promote water retention, which reduces the risk of flooding and relieves pressure on sewer systems.
- Biodiversity in the city: vertical greenery creates microhabitats for insects and small animals, supporting local biodiversity.
- Reducing the urban heat island: green walls help to reduce the urban heat island effect by lowering the air temperature in their surroundings.
Implementation of vertical greenery in architectural and investment projects
- Choosing the right system: a variety of green façade systems are available on the market - from simple modules to advanced solutions with automatic irrigation. The choice of the right system should be adapted to the specifics of the building and the local climatic conditions.
- Plant selection: it is advisable to invest in plants that are resistant to local weather conditions and that blend well with the architecture of the building. Examples include climbing species, succulents or mosses.
- Design and installation: working with experienced specialists, such as our Green Facades company, guarantees the professional design and construction of a green wall that meets all the investor's expectations.
