They are indeed signposted and officially recognized places.

Every green alley I know have been initiated by local residents, then have
received some help by the city, but other cities have their own ways. Would
this distinction be important?

Is it possible that such green alley will not include any plants?

No, plants are the central aspect of a green alley, but the various
"furniture" is worth a mention, since the alley is also a kind of a
collective achievement (not sure if the phrasing is good, I mean "oeuvre
commune") where citizen fill the space with arts and furniture as they deem
relevant. Like a park: a park is also, most of the time, tree-lined, but it
can also include some public furniture that are worth mentioning if you try
to describe the idea of a park to someone who never saw one.

This concept might be new to many, but it is definitely something that is
recognized by all who live nearby one, and officially signposted and
recognized by the city in it's own maps. It would also be a useful thing to
add to OSM, as many residents or outsiders look forward to them.
