Subject Greening the city with the 'Green Curtains' project

Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Hye-Shik) is drawing attention by constructing 'green curtain' on the walls of buildings such as public health centres and schools.

 If annual plants such as morning glory, balloon plant, and bitter gourd are grown on the outer wall of the building or near the windows, the growing plants prevent sunlight from coming into the building, and this effect is called the "green curtain" effect. Green curtains increase the carbon dioxide sink of plants to purify the air and reduce air pollutants. It has the effect of improving the cityscape and lowering the building temperature by catching hot heat.

 Green curtains were set up at five places including Gangdong-gu Health Centre, Gangil-dong Residents' Centre, Sangil Media High School, Dununchon Elementary School, and Gok-Gyo Centre for the Elderly. Buildings with a height of 10m and received a fair amount of sunlight per day were chosen, and vases were planted with vines on the front of the window. A total of 35 million won was invested in the project.

 "In addition to energy conservation, green curtains also have a positive effect on protecting the privacy of the residents living in lower floors of the building and blocking noise and dust," the official said. "We plan to gradually expand the green space that is full of vitality."

 Furthermore, the district is also taking the initiative in creating a green space in the residential area by promoting a "community gardening project" that supports greening materials to the residents' community to plant flowers and trees, and a "wall greening project" to record the entire wall of urban structures.
