Green wall
Intro
Uncontrolled urbanization and climate change pose significant environmental challenges,
including heat island effects, pollution, flooding, ecosystem loss, and human health issues.
Governments are promoting sustainable cities and societies through nature-based solutions like
Low Impact Development systems and Green Infrastructures, such as green wall techniques.
Types of green wall
Green walls are vertical systems that combine
plants, vegetation, irrigation, and drainage into one
system. Living walls, also known as vertical gardens
or bio-walls, incorporate multiple plantings to create
vegetation cover. They differ from green facades in
that they don't rely on climbing plants, and their
main typologies include the green walls and Green
facade.
Green facades

Green facades are constructed with plants
hanging or climbing alongside the wall, either
directly or indirectly attached to the wall,
providing a supporting structure for the
vegetation.
Grid and Wire-Rope Net Systems
Grid and wire-rope net systems use
ropes and cables for climbing vegetation
growth, with wire-ropes for slower growth.
Steel cables provide high tensile strength
and anchors.

Living walls
Living walls, or vertical gardens, are
structures made of plastic, expanded
polystyrene, synthetic fabric, clay, metal, and
