To enhance the applicability of stereoscopic greening technology for the renovation of existing public buildings in high-density mountainous urban areas, this study conducted on-site investigations in a typical high-density mountainous urban area of Chongqing. This study collected data on the application of vertical greening technology in urban public buildings and analyzed the suitability of various vertical greening technologies for the renovation of public buildings. The results indicate that modular vertical greening is currently more suitable for the renovation of public buildings in such cities; however, further optimization is needed in terms of the overall compatibility, stability of modular units, and adaptability of modular plants to the local environment. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the feasibility of adopting vertical greening retrofitting for public buildings in high-density mountainous cities, and provide a reference for the planning and sustainable development of such cities.

High-quality urban green space (UGS) is an integral part of a livable city. The scientific evaluation of UGS has great value for improving the quality and efficiency of green spaces. In this study, we integrated the water and walking networks into the existing green index model and proposed a new green index: the building blue–green index (BBGI). Using this method, we analyzed the quality of green spaces within 300 m of 2138 buildings located in 13 communities in the Mochou Lake subdistrict in Nanjing, China. The results revealed that the green-space quality of high-rise, low-density buildings was greater than that of low-rise, high-density buildings. In addition, buildings close to water had higher green-space quality, while impervious surfaces reduced green-space quality. Furthermore, the connectivity and orientation of the road network indicated that even if a community was close to large parks and water bodies, there would still be lower green-space quality. This study’s findings highlight the usefulness of evaluation methods for green-space quality that combine blue and green spaces. We also propose feasible measures for improving neighborhood green-space planning and land management.
