Some selected City Greening Programs

For now, there is no national policy on green infrastructure in Poland yet. Some cities like Warsaw, Krakow, Lodz and Wroclaw published standards for urban greenery. These documents do not mention the green roofs and living walls, but sometimes indicate in which case they can be used. In addition, inhabitants of Wroclaw can obtain a tax reduction if the building where they live has green roof or living wall.
