“…Green infrastructure is a new concept, a net projected within cities, in which there are incorporated natural and semi-natural elements as woods, public parks, recreational areas, waste vegetation, resendential gardens, street alignments of trees and bushes, vegetal strips, green belts (Feltynowski, 2015;Nita, 2016;Rouse, Bunster-Ossa, 2013;Ely, Pitman, 2013), and recently, green walls and grassy terraces (Maas, et al 2006;Hopkins, Goodwin, 2011, Cheng, et al, 2010, Dunnett, Kingsbury, 2004Rayner, et al, 2010).…”

The urban vegetation needs adequate monitoring and conservation, being a critical resource of urban landscape. To its deeply esthetic values, the practical values and, respectively, ecosystem services delivered by the urban biodiversity are added (amelioration of the environment and urban microclimate, flood control, diminishing of the environmental pollution, increasing of biodiversity and habitats etc.). Accurate remote sensing techniques have been used widely in locating and mapping urban vegetation (Light Detection And Ranging-LiDAR, satellite images).The purpose of this study is to point out the vegetation status in correlation with the number of the bird species (as indicator of the ecosystem's health), using remote sensing techniques (Landsat satellite images), between 1991-2006 in Bucharest, Romania's capital. Rapid urban evolution of Bucharest led to important changes within the structure of the city, underlined by the increasing of the built area to the detriment of the green one. The intensity of the urbanization rate also led to the decreasing of the number of the bird species. The results obtained through analysis of satellite images indicate the necessity to acquire the up-to-date information related to the vegetation status in order to establish in the future, through urban landscape projects, protection measures for the vegetation cover and for the bird habitats in Bucharest Municipality.

“…This study was supported by Peck et al (1999) that plants can add visual interest to plain walls and roofs, industrial and commercial properties soften and allow a new building to blend in better with rural or suburban surroundings. Cheng et al (2010) concluded that many factors such as physical structure, materials and dimensions of holding panels shall be conducted in the study of vertical greenery system.…”

“…This scenario has influenced the building and the ambient temperature is higher than the green areas. Through tree planting, it can help to cool the building and surrounding area through shading, reduce the heat emitted and evapo-transpiration (Kelly and Cheng et al, 2010;. Vertical green system using plants grown on the surface of the building to reduce heat and large changes in temperature.…”

“…The diversity of carrier sys tems that have been developed is a showcase of the creative design possibilities available for growing plants on the vertical surfaces. The differences in systems are governed by parameters such as aesthetics, profile thickness, weight, ease of maintenance, ease of construction, type of plants and cost (Cheng, 2010). Carrier systems can be further classified into two broad categories, namely horizontal and vertical.…”

Rapid urbanization and the concern for climate change have led to a growing trend to bring nature into the cities. Due to artificial urbanization, urban heat islands have become a serious problem. Greenery is expected to be an effective countermeasure, and much research is available regarding green roofs, green walls, street trees and parks. The intent of this paper is to present a synthesis of the literature review on the design and technology for cooling of building and surroundings by using vertical greenery system. Effect of design parameters on building microclimate and the applicable cooling technologies are discussed.
