Jakarta as a downtown has several urban problems, one of them is air pollution. The level of air pollution in Jakarta has been recorded to have an AQI (Air Quality Index) score of 183 at this air quality level which is very detrimental to humans or also detrimental to other lives (animals and plants). The need for solutions to reduce air pollution especially NO 2 pollutants, one of which is by using titanium dioxide or greening high rise buildings such as apartments. In this study, we want to find the area that needs to be coated with titanium dioxide and also the number of plants needed to reduce air pollution at the site. Obtained to reduce the problem of NO 2 air pollution by 24.076,8 mg required an area covered with TiO2 of 3.635 m 2 or need to plant as many as 36 akalipa merah trees.
