| 摘要： | As air pollution continues to impact public health, there is an increasing drive for local government and highway authorities to minimise roadside pollution caused by vehicles. Campaigning for public transport and investing in infrastructure are effective ways to offset air pollution. However, putting these solutions in place can be hindered through a lack of physical space and high implementation costs. Often overlooked in the fight against air pollution are natural resources such as vegetation. These can provide an aesthetically pleasing, cost-effective and undisruptive solution to tackling the problem. In response to a study on air quality, the English coastal city of Southampton devised a strategy to reduce air pollution. Biotecture worked closely with Southampton and Balfour Beatty's Living Places - the contractor's division that focuses on highway maintenance, street lighting and public space designs - to create the UK's first highway living walls. Millbrook Flyover, one of the city's busiest roads, saw the installation of 10 of Biotecture's freestanding living wall structures. |
