چکیده

• Green walls could instil sustainability into major infrastructure projects. Potential design opportunities and drivers for the vertical greening identified. Interviews conducted to obtain stakeholder insights. Case study analysed generate implementation approaches. Opportunities constraints are discussed. Many city’s current transport is deemed be inadequate rapid population growth projected urbanisation, driving an increase in construction of more efficient reliable networks. However, projects have negative impacts on environment, during both operational phases. wall technologies become increasing trend within urban areas combat these impacts, however, their uptake has been limited. This answers question whether green a suitable technology instilling was achieved by comparing available systems, conducting interviews with leading industry professionals developing case possible multi-billion dollar project. The overall benefits presented, insights how systems may contribute rating tools
