Plants in the city can:
* can reduce temperatures (reducing the need for [[air-conditioning]]
* 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 {{WP|green roof}}).
* be used indoors as {{WP|living walls}} to help cure {{WP|sick building syndrome}}
{{WP|Living walls}} and {{WP|green roofs}} are space-efficient ways of bringing plants into the city.
