The green interventions in urban space as described are different. The green element is weak in an urban environment. That is why i think it is important to choose plants that do not need so much care. The plant itself has to have urban guerilla qualities. Plus: the people that fix a plant in the urban space on their own have to take care for the plant afterwards. Because in general the rough city scape is not the right place for plants unless you are planning exactly and carefully how it may survive. After all i think it is a great idea because in the end it helps to create unique city scapes with lots of possibilities to individualise and identify with the place you live in.
