I just like the idea. It don't solve anything. However more greenery is better than less.
Sucks up pollution. Hells with depression. Hells with pollinators and bugs. Can't really see a downside
The downside is almost certainly structural (significant weight as well as moisture, and a need for long term structural integrity and safety, likely don't pair well. Especially not when the people doing the building are looking for cost effectiveness).
How heavy do you think plants are ? Heavier than furniture? Or just fat humans ?
Well if we're talking fully grown oak trees for some stupid reason it'd be heavy, but most of the plants people point at in these things would be light as fuck. The dirt for the planters would probably be heavier.
Maybe some people are thinking trees. But no I expected potted plants. Shrubs of the like
