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.

IFLA Joins the WGIN Working Group on Post-Conflict Reconstruction

The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) has joined the WGIN Working Group on the reconstruction of post-conflict areas. Representing IFLA in this initiative is Dr. Maria Gabriella Trovato, an Associate Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and the Program Leader of the International Master’s Program in Landscape Architecture for Global Sustainability. Dr. Maria Gabriella Trovato is a distinguished expert in landscape planning, spatial development, and the reconstruction of territories affected by conflicts and environmental crises. She has extensive experience in integrating nature-based solutions into the restoration of urban and natural landscapes. She is the Founder and Director of the Eastern Mediterranean Landscape Observatory (EMLO), a member of the UNISCAPE Executive Board, and the Chair of Landscape Architects Without Borders (IFLA). Her research focuses on landscape restoration in emergency contexts, urban adaptation to climate change, and the development of inclusive and resilient public spaces. The participation of IFLA in this working group represents a strategic step toward embedding nature-based solutions into the reconstruction of post-conflict territories. With the number of regions affected by armed conflicts and socio-political upheavals increasing globally, the demand for sustainable and resilient reconstruction strategies has never been more urgent. A holistic approach—combining ecological restoration, climate resilience, and social reintegration—is essential to ensuring long-term stability and quality of life for affected communities. The collaboration between WGIN and IFLA aims to foster innovative strategies for land restoration, establish long-term planning frameworks, and contribute to the creation of sustainable and resilient urban environments. As post-conflict reconstruction becomes an increasingly critical global challenge, integrating landscape architecture and nature-based solutions into recovery efforts is paramount for achieving sustainable development. We invite organizations to collaborate in the development of innovative solutions for post-conflict territory restoration.
