A plant wall attracts bees and birds, reducing costs and promoting sustainability, leading to a mandate for green walls. Read below a case study of the positive impacts of urban green infrastructure.

Location: Dubai, UAE  
Designer / project owner: Malabar Gold

This project is situated in an industrial area where construction and shipping activities are operational during the daytime. Bees and other birds are attracted to the natural plant wall, which acts as a shelter for these beneficial insects and birds. Additionally, it reduces the temperature of the building, ultimately lowering electricity and power costs. The plants utilized in the green wall contribute to reducing carbon footprints.

The green wall stands out as one of the most captivating and innovative features of this project. Its sustainability, environmental friendliness, and aesthetic appeal draw more visitors to the building. Schools and colleges frequently organize visits to this project to comprehend the concept of the green wall and its benefits. The Building Developers Association has made a policy decision to incorporate green walls into all buildings in this area due to their environmental and sustainability advantages.

Green walls, also known as vertical gardens, can dramatically transform the surrounding environment and create a striking visual impact. They add value to your space without sacrificing valuable floor space. Serving as “oxygen factories,” green walls increase humidity and improve air quality while also boasting fantastic acoustic properties.

Gover Group of Companies provides complete solutions for all types of Green Walls/Vertical Garden throughout the Gulf Region. 

Green wall modules are easy to install and can be quickly fixed to any structural wall including brick, concrete, metal or other surfaces. Minimal Structure required for heights above every 8 feet.

Save the date: World Green Infrastructure Congress 2026

Join us at: World Green Infrastructure Congress BARCELONA 2026 October 27–29: CCIB – Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona (Spain) October 30: University of Lleida – Catalunya (Spain) Organized by: University of Lleida Co-organized by the World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN). Visit WGIC26.Barcelona

WGIC26 – Closing the gap between communities of practice for green infrastructure and health

  WGIN’s mission statement is “The World Green Infrastructure Network advocates for optimal use of green infrastructure in the urban built environment for the health and well-being of people and the planet.” WGIN has in recent years acknowledged a gap in the attention we’ve given to the human health and well-being benefits of urban green infrastructure. The next World Green Infrastructure Congress, WGIC26, in Barcelona in October 2026 will address this gap by dedicating one of its three thematic tracks to health and well-being. Our congress hosts, the University of Lleida, expect this track will contribute to increased focus on health and well-being within our community of practice, and will hopefully contribute to increased interdisciplinary collaboration with the health sector. WGIN members and stakeholders are encouraged to support and help distribute the soon to be published call for papers for WGIC26 through their websites, social media and personal networks and to assist in recruiting the health community to join us in Barcelona. Through stronger interdisciplinary collaboration we can foster greater recognition and support for urban and building integrated green infrastructure and its relevance in health research, policies and practices.

Green Street Standards – A Breakthrough in Urban Green and Blue Infrastructure (Wrocław, Poland)

Planning and designing green and blue infrastructure (GBI) as an integral part of urban streets – as is widely recognised – requires support in terms of organisation, funding, legislation and social awareness. As demonstrated by the case of Wrocław – one of the fastest-growing cities in Poland – standards can serve as an effective tool for supporting the implementation of GBI. These standards include guidelines and model solutions that integrate spatial, technical, and environmental aspects. Before establishing these standards, introducing green and blue infrastructure to Wrocław’s streets – even in newly planned projects – posed significant challenges. The main obstacles included insufficient space, the location of underground utility networks in areas that could otherwise accommodate trees, and relatively low public awareness of the importance of creating proper conditions for vegetation, especially large street trees.
