Because there's no serious answers being given even though there are at least 2:
Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.
Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.
It's just not as "nice" to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.
On the other hand, algae do not produce shade, not sure if it filters atmospheric pollutants, and trees provide all sort of other services to the local ecosystem.
Maybe this invention can be used on places where trees cannot lives, but I'd still take a city with trees over a city full of green tanks.
These in the spots where trees once stood but were too destructive & trees everywhere else imo. Cool tech future AND trees, plus these are benches too it looks like
This part is the most surprising. For something meant to go in urban areas, where's the hostile architecture? No railings between seats? No spikes?
That sounds like it needs its own community. "Hostile Architecture" I love it.
Edit: I googled the term and think it could be a sub. https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/designing-for-typologies/hostile-architecture-anti-homeless-architecture/

(Sorry, you made me think of this article)
Don't forget pollen and seeds.
Bees need pollen. We need bees and you can self host them.
Oh yeah
I'm one of those elites who don't have allergies so I tend to forget 😎😎😎
>:(
Let's tie him up and sneeze on him.
Plus pollen means having to pay to clean it off.
Bet that algae box will need maintenance too :-)
"let's uproot all these trees and invade this space. and when the roots of the few remaining trees do what they are supposed to do, let's blame them for 'ruining' human infrastructure!"
trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure. But the usual urban infrastructure isnt well thought out enough to exist around trees. But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.
People ruin nature's infrastructure
I think you mean all, as this reads more like "nuh uh, trees don't ruin anything"
And those are not the norm, so for places that don't plan to just destroy what's already there and start anew, this is an option
