Mapping the missing green: An AI framework boosts urban greening in Tokyo In rapidly growing cities like Tokyo, incorporating greenery is a challenging task. With limited space for trees or parks, vertical greening—the placement of vegetation on building facades—has become a creative solution to reintroduce nature into crowded urban settings. However, until now, there has been no clear method to assess where this type of greenery is most needed or most effective.

🏙️ Tokyo's scaling green walls! 🌱 But where does nature *best* bloom on buildings? A new quest to map urban greenery & breathe life into concrete jungles! ✨ #VerticalGreening

Is vertical greening really "Green" when you need noisy, dirty diesel trucks for routine maintenance? I think not!
