If I were forced to live in an above-ground apartment I'd love to have some green plants and maybe a little herb garden on a back porch this size. These abundant green porches would provide extra shade, extra fresh air, and cool the buildings during summer, lowering the energy expenditure on air conditioning. It's so hard to believe this photo is even real in US hellworld, where landlords and real estate property owners would probably prevent this because of complaints about the costs of cleaning up dead leaves and dirt, or needing extra tapwater to keep these plants healthy. The only major downsides would be the humidity and mosquitoes, which means we won't be seeing these set up on the east coast anytime soon. ;_;
