Projects and plants for the greener cities of tomorrow Green plants play an important role when it comes to quality of life in our cities. However, suitable plots of land in the city are rare, which means that only a few remnant areas are available. How can effective green spaces be integrated into such a setting? With the help of numerous concrete application examples, this book shows how lush, even almost tropical, vegetation can develop in urban spaces. Whether on roofs, in a dark courtyard or as vertical planting on walls, Jonas Reif has compiled an impressive collection of inspirational ideas for the green cities of tomorrow. The 40 plants described are especially suitable, and with a little knowledge are easy to establish and grow.
