It's fantastic that they did this, but i don't know why they didn't have more greenery. It's like a bunch of potted plants loosely scattered about, which is nice, but IMO would've been a lot better if they really had long stretches of green plant life

Might be limited in terms of how much weight of soil the structure can support.

I'm wondering if it's a maintenance thing? Like they need to be able to inspect the former road surface for damage, or contain the plants to avoid roots spreading any cracks they can find? No idea otherwise.
