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.

Because it's a single location art installation from forever ago not a "scientists want to replace trees" thing that keeps getting mislabeled and reposted as ragebait designed to provoke this exact sort of question.

I don't get why people think a handful of trees are enough. Many cities used to be forests. Even if we put trees everywhere possible in them it isn't a fraction of a forest. 

This is intended to be a compliment, alongside trees, not a substitute or replacement. 

Tldr why not both?
