Hmm, I do see why they are going for green cover, but green roofs and building facades combined with (from the bottom) much nicer looking shade nets seem like the better solution. The extra effort to manage the rain-water runoff and irrigation for these seems also quite substantial.
I make shade as a canvas guy for boats. I find it hard to believe that the building owners would let you bolt all that to their buildings. Even just the fabric alone is heavy enough...
