Abstract

Sustainable solutions are needed to protect the environment and the planet from the adverse impacts of human activities, such as pollution, resource depletion, and global warming. Vertical greenery systems (VGS) enhance biodiversity, reduce urban heat island effects, provide indoor and outdoor comfort, and improve air quality. The Authors adopted a data collection strategy to study the VGS benefits in various aspects and review its types and the important aspects of their longevity, in addition to studying the primary challenges of implementing VGS in Egypt including cultural and social, economic, environmental, Government Policies, infrastructure and technology challenges with a detailed explanation of each challenge. The Authors then adopted a Data analysis strategy by conducting an online questionnaire to investigate how the public perceives the challenges involved in implementing VGS in Egypt, by examining the most significant aspect of each of the multiple challenges limiting the installation of VGS in Egypt and rating the impact of each challenge based on how much it would limit the adoption of VGS in Egypt, as well as ranking the challenge that has the highest impact on Egypt's implementation of vertical greenery systems. The Authors concluded a prospected framework concerning the primary challenges of implementing the vertical greenery systems in Egypt from the public's perception, highlighting the challenges that have the highest impact on avoiding the implementation of the VGS in Egypt.
