The amount of concrete is pretty insignificant compared to variability of building operations in terms of heating/cooling. I've spent a ton of time reviewing embodied carbon, since that's probably the strongest critique against this sort of structure, but I can't find numbers that make me the least bit concerned. Plus,people like greenery, if that's a "gimmick" bring it on. In addition, compared to the major consumer of greenhouse gases, poor land use requiring massive personal vehicle use, and the poor thermal envelopes with far larger surface to volume ration that happens with single unit development, these sort of critiques are missing the forest for the trees.
