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 ^W).
be used indoors as ^W to help cure ^W

^W and ^W are space-efficient ways of bringing plants into the city.
