This comprehensive publication, originally developed based on the German versions prepared by the Bundesverband GebäudeGrün e.V. (BuGG) in Germany and Research and Innovation Lab GRÜNSTATTGRAU in Austria, has now been expanded to include the latest research results and case studies from across Europe.

Green building solutions are at the forefront of urban innovation, sustainability, and climate resilience. As cities worldwide face increasing challenges from urban heat islands, air pollution, biodiversity loss, and energy inefficiencies, the role of green infrastructure has never been more critical.

This publication serves as a key reference for policymakers, urban planners, architects, and environmental professionals by providing scientific evidence on the many benefits of building greening.
