A growing trend for living walls is emerging, boosting biodiversity in our towns and cities. Living walls, (or green walls) are vertical gardens that utilize interior or exterior building surfaces that would otherwise be ecologically barren. These modular façades have many benefits including reduced ambient temperature, increased biodiversity, and improved air quality. 

Keziah Biggs The benefits of green walls for urban biodiversity Over the last few decades, the importance of green walls to the natural environment and human well-being has grown. In the urban environment, where space for greenery is few and far between, ecosystems and green spaces are being introduced by growing them vertically as green walls (also known as living walls). Green wall ecology is a rapidly growing science, with many studies focusing on their thermal values. However, the benefits of living walls do not stop here. They have a huge impact on urban biodiversity, which we will be exploring...
