Mapping vertical greening across Tokyo’s 23 wards

Caption

Researchers from Chiba University analyzed over 80,000 street-view images to map vertical greenery in Tokyo, revealing that green façades are much more prevalent than living walls. The study also identified areas where additional greenery could improve urban comfort, mitigate heat, and enhance overall city life.
