It would be relatively cheap and easy to retrofit them with moss/fern panel facades or other types of plants. Improves the visual appeal while also contributing to cleaner air and cooler temperatures, and creating food/habitat for wildlife.
Depends on the variety. Ideally you would choose a local species that’s adapted to the environment and not aggressive. One that can thrive in the peculiar conditions of a vertical wall with very little if any substrate. And if there’s nothing that suits it perfectly, you can genetically engineer something. Or choose a different type of plant.
There are options, and it’s been done before so it’s not like this is just scifi.
Yes, but then where would we get depressing propaganda pictures to frighten people who are curious about socioeconomic systems other than giving rich people whatever they want.

There’s really no reason not to do it.
Don’t ferns take a lot of maintenance effort? Moss too, though perhaps to prevent it from invading other parts of the structure

Easy, just use GenAI (/s)
