With Europe's long-term plan of significantly reducing emissions in the next few decades, all industries are expected to do their part in transitioning toward sustainable development. It is with great ambition that all shall adapt methodologies and processes that would not create very significant carbon footprint to the environment. A number of human actions have created devastating effects to nature. 

Construction scaffolding is usually used not only as a mold for the structure being built but also as a means of protecting the surroundings from debris, dust, and other potential hazards. A system of steel elements, it is without a doubt that it could be an eye-sore. Though the primary aim of construction is to provide shelter for humans, it is without a doubt creating a significant imbalance to nature.

Arup, one of the biggest engineering firms in the world, has pioneered a method to make construction technology less harmful to the environment. The Living Wall is a scaffolding assemblage completely adorned by a mixture of greenery and plant life. Not only that, according to reports, it is also fitted with devices that measure both air and noise pollutions. Different from the norm of hollow steel lattice systems, this new technology in construction scaffolding is expected to reduce air pollution in highly urbanized areas with numerous construction facilities. This Living Wall is manufactured by Swedish specialist, Green Fortune. According to an interview with Alistair Law of Arup, "Living Wall lite has the potential to transform scaffolding and hoardings into much more than just a cover-up. By introducing plants and flowers, we can create a more attractive and healthier environment for local residents, businesses, and workers on site."

It is said that one of their long-term goals to make a positive impact not only by reducing air and noise pollution but also by introducing rich biodiversity in the area.
