Abstract
Modern city development a large number of cars and industrial plants have led to a dramatic decline in air quality, which in some cities around the world reaches alarming parameters, which are very harmful to public health. In larger cities, during most of the year, air quality is in a moderately harmful and harmful range. Modern urban development, which introduces various new materials and sources of pollution into the urban fabric, should require an increase in the percentage of green areas, in order to maintain air quality at a level estimated to be healthy for human life. Strategic afforestation of parts of cities could have the effect of reducing the amount of harmful particles in the air, planting tall plants would in some way lead to the filtration of city air. The construction of green, vegetation, roofs would mitigate the effect of the heat island, reduce the energy needed to cool buildings, effectively manage atmospheric water, improve air quality, increase biodiversity, reduce noise, etc.
