Abstract:	The approach for urban coherence requires a rigorous and comprehensive understanding of available adaptive practice toward resilience and sustainability in the urban centers. We ascertain that this calls for swift restorative actions to amend the ecology damages with the incorporation of ‘greening’ elements as available methods of environmentally sensitive, innovative practices in bridging the fields of ecology, horticulture, architecture and environmental tools to the natural restoration of the urban damages, hence the purpose of this study. The theoretical frameworks, including sustainability, resilience, adaptive practice, may be helpful when considering urban resilience. We suggest that all of the considerations should cooperate through the practical implementation. Given this, design consideration to vertical greening for urban sustainability may be categorized as those: (1) the enhancement with vertical greening in urban setting, whether in the interior or exterior environment, can aid in the regenerative role toward the restoration of the urban ecological landscape; (2) the recent progress on smart building technology further enhanced the management for comfort, biodiversity and well-being benefits of vertical greening; (3) ideas and practices permutations of the systemic design possibilities for vertical greening contribute to the resilience of the urban core; (4) the outcome focuses on the design thinking process into the practice of vertical greening aimed for sustainable conscious architecture, advantageous on their potential for human's well-being and health, at the same time, being feasible for amelioration of our urban microclimate condition, opportunity and threats; together, they contribute toward the sustainability for the future of urbanity.
