It has been proposed that increasing the amount of foliage, trees and soft landscaping in our cities could prove useful environmentally, economically and socially. Benefits of greener urban environments that have been suggested range from reduction in water pollution to improved mental health. This paper outlines a critical appraisal of the science and reasoning behind several cited benefits of greening cities. The specific potential benefits addressed are urban heat island mitigation, improved insulation, stormwater management, air pollution reduction, energy crop production, acoustic attenuation, food production and community gardening for health and wellbeing. London, UK, has been used as an example case with an aim of estimating the extent, types and distributions of green that would be required to yield meaningful city-scale benefits. The work takes a broad-brush approach, from a designer's perspective, to begin the process of understanding how greenery designs work, to what extent, and how they might be applied in urban environments. The characteristics of some concept design options for a Garden City version of London that illustrate the scale of greening required to realise the benefits are presented. Practical application: This paper outlines a critical appraisal of the science and reasoning behind several cited benefits of greening cities. The specific potential benefits addressed are urban heat island mitigation, improved insulation, stormwater management, air pollution reduction, energy crop production, acoustic attenuation, food production and community gardening for health and wellbeing. A collection of concept designs, for London, UK, has been examined with the aim of estimating the extent, types and distributions of greenery that would be required to yield meaningful city-scale benefits. The work has direct relevance to city planning and the design of green infrastructure in London, UK; however, many of the issues covered are applicable to other cities worldwide.
