The amount of misinformation/disinformation in comments under this post is staggering and ridiculous. These were *never* meant to be a *replacement* for trees, nor were they designed to replace trees.

These are supposed to help with the air pollution in places in cities where there is no room for trees and/or where trees can't grow to appropriate sizes exactly due to air pollution.

For a community that markets itself as full of critical thinkers there sure is plenty of parroting of same platitudes made by people who are too lazy to do a quick search and educate themselves about the *thing* they write about...

Seems like a bigger problem that cities don't just plan to have trees. Maybe they should rip out a bank building and put a park there instead.

Agreed. This was made in Belgrade, Serbia where the air pollution is highest in Europe (due to corruption and) plain unwillingness of average citizens to even understand the issue to press on officials to do something about it.

A bunch of trees were cut down years ago (due to corrupt officials obviously) to make room for more and more concrete city squares and widening of roads for more cars. So instead of moving towards livable cities for humans (like in Netherlands) we're going backwards.

Nothing new for the shittiest country in Europe I guess...

Or like in Britain where the cities are actively ripping out the trees (overnight, so no one stops them in time)
