| Popis: | Urban development is causing environmental and social concerns that are compromising human welfare and the sustainability of cities. New urban greening concepts are being developed to mitigate these problems in a sustainable and natural way. Vertical greening systems can be defined as structures that allow vegetation to spread over a building facade or interior wall. These systems are becoming popular though they are still evolving and more knowledge on some of their particular impacts is required. In the last five years, the number of studies published in the scientific literature on this topic, especially involving living walls, has significantly increased. This scientific interest has corresponded with an increased and parallel attention by the general public. This work offers a broad description of the different systems and a comprehensive review of the particular benefits of these green infrastructures. Knowledge gaps and shortcomings have also been identified and discussed. |
