Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Insufficient green areas often cause negative impacts on the environment, public health, and even the economic development of a city. Due to land scarcity, it stands to reason that greenery in the city should be developed not only on horizontal spaces but should also utilize vertical spaces. Accordingly, vertical gardening—a strategy that allows vertical urban surfaces to be utilized—has been investigated as an improvement option for facades in built environments. This paper aims to investigate areas that vertical gardens might cover, as well as their benefits in context of an urban neighborhood in Da Nang City, Vietnam. To this end, our research focuses on the utility of greenery development for the study area, potential locations for vertical gardens based on an inventory of building facades in the neighborhood, and the possible values gained from such development. Based on a set of mixed methods of data collection and analysis, our study explores the usefulness of greenery at different urban scales (building—neighborhood—city) that may have implications for similar urban environments within and beyond Vietnam. The green coverage produced by vertical gardening is expected to bring multiple environmental, economic and social benefits to dense cities in Asia, while requiring consideration of cost and maintenance, risk management, judicious selection of plants, and involvement of stakeholders.
