The constant intensification of urbanized areas resulting in microclimate deterioration, high expansion and air pollution and dust pollution levels, as well as noise provoking a response and a rise in urban greenery, is currently observed. In this context, the subject of green walls also known as vertical gardens subscribes to the notion of sustainable design and its growing popularity manifests the unbreakable bond between man and nature. One cannot overestimate the importance of green wall technology, which provides architects with new ecological elevation material, offering an unlimited number of textures and color effects, changing according to the time of the day and season, and sometimes unpredictable even for the designer himself. Vertical gardening in urbanization area provide ecosystem services in urban areas, including improved storm-water management, better regulation of building temperatures, reduced urban heat-island effects, and increased urban wildlife habitat. This article reviews the evidence for these benefits and examines the interior and exterior space that contributes to overall ecosystem services.
