Revision as of 04:02, 11 April 2010
Plants in the city can:
- can reduce temperatures, if planted in sufficient numbers, reducing the need for air conditioning and improving quality of life.
- provide fresh produce, which potentially has requires less resources to grow than produce transported from outside the city, and should be much fresher and thus better tasting - especially in the case of highly perishable produce such as salad greens.
- improve the appearance and feeling of the surroundings
- provide insulation (in the form of a green roofW).
- be used indoors as living wallsW to help cure sick building syndromeW
Living wallsW and green roofsW are space-efficient ways of bringing plants into the city.
