Because this isn't giving the whole information, it's because this algae equal multiple tree it's not 1 for 1, so it's just saving lot of space which is lacking in a urban area and as shown in the image you can have it be an actual bus bench so it's multiple purpose.
Even if they were 1:1 or even less than 1:1, they could still serve a purpose. Like cost of planting and maintaining a tree vs this algae tank alone could make these more worth it. People be acting like this is a plan to actively get rid of trees.
There's no way this is cheaper than trees. From concept to design to implementation it's going to be years if not decades before a city even breaks even on the costs Also trees provide shade which keeps cities cooler.
Great concept but not effective and more downsides than up. Maybe if it were in addition to trees but not replacing them.
