Greening Bath Street: Enhancing Liverpool's Active Travel Corridor with Green Screens

As part of Liverpool City Council’s Greening Liverpool strategy and supported by funding from EIT Climate-KIC’s Sustainable Cities Mobility Challenge, Meristem Design delivered the installation of 30 metres of green screens along Bath Street. Positioned adjacent to a key cycle route, these green screens transform a previously graffiti-covered retaining wall into a vibrant, plant-covered landmark – boosting biodiversity, improving air quality, and softening the urban landscape.

Green screens add natural beauty into urban environments while delivering many environmental and health benefits.

Visually Transformative

The planting softens and reclaims a previously hard, grey streetscape, offering a nature-based solution to graffiti while improving perceptions of the space for all users.

Air Quality and Climate Resilience

Plants help capture pollutants, sequester carbon, and release oxygen - contributing to healthier urban air along a busy cycle and pedestrian corridor.

Scalable Urban Greening

The system is modular and can be extended along more of the route. Its adaptability makes it suitable for similar high-footfall, hard-surface locations across the city.

Modular Green Screen System

Our green screens provide immediate green cover, are quick to install and allows climbing plants to develop further coverage over time.

Offered as an attractive alternative to walls and fencing, green screens contribute towards creating healthier, more breathable urban environments.

Healthier Environment

Liverpool City Council reports that the new green screens are projected to help extract over 100kg of carbon, absorb 230kg of gas, and produce over 140kg of oxygen annually, improving air quality for cyclists, pedestrians, and nearby residents.

Boost to Biodiversity

The installation supports urban biodiversity by offering shelter and habitat for pollinators and insects, contributing to Liverpool’s wider greening and ecological goals.

Improved Urban Experience

What was once a neglected, graffiti-covered wall is now a visually inviting green space - enhancing the daily experience of people commuting through the area and increasing pride in place.

Model for Green Infrastructure

This Bath Street installation offers a replicable model for greening hard urban surfaces, aligning with Liverpool’s long-term vision for sustainable and climate-resilient public infrastructure.
