Also planting Ficus religiosa, Bauhinia variegate, Cassia nodosa, Eucalyptus
camaldulensis and Khaya senegalensis trees is better in new gardens or replacing
old ones when implementing targeted maintenance programs [17, 139].
12.2 Green Walls [147, 144]
The concept of green walls is representative of the green roofs vertical or near the
vertical position and is based on the elements of construction vary according to
the type of the wall itself and is covered by the structures of plants. This concept is
historically the presence of climbing plants next to existing architecture and then used
in the coordination and beautification of sites. It is also considered the attention and
spread of that system recently because it provides a quick and effective environmental
solution to the scarcity of green areas and the impossibility of the development of
green areas within the existing building.
Green walls are Vertical gardens on the surfaces where plants are attached to
the surface. It is classified as ‘green facades’ or ‘living wall’. On the right hand,
green facades are created by directly attaching hanging pots or shrubs to the wall,
or attached the plants to the wall using any supporting methods as wires, ropes and
meshes either in the form of double skinned green facades or indirect green facades.
On the left hand, living walls are created by attaching growing media to the vertical
wall, and this relatively new technique is classified as ‘continuous living walls’ or
‘modular living walls’ [148, 149]. Green walls can improve air quality. Dunnett and
Kingsbury [144] recommended green walls as one of the planting concepts to reduce
particulates through deposition. Pollutant reduction along with a footpath in open
areas [150]. This system is defined as a wall consisting of a set of plants supported
by vertical anchors either on the inner or outer wall and sometimes stand alone. It
also includes plants, irrigation and drainage system all within one system.
12.3 Greening with Self Climbing Plants
Often at walls ‘self-climbers’ are set like Jasminum grandiflorum Lonicera japonica
and English Ivy, with which climbing assistance is unnecessary. The wall crest must
deflect all precipitation, so that no water from above can penetrate. All joints should be
closed, so that the impulses of the plants mentioned cannot penetrate there. Climbing
hydrangea, Clerodendrum inerme climbing roses are also suitable [151, 152]
Common climbing plants such as ivy was found suitable for the green wall. The
removal potential of pollutants using a green wall was shown to be influenced by
plant species, methods of climbing wind, humidity and leaf area index (LAI). We
suggest that air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index
(API) should be measured prior to selecting species for the urban gardens.
