Last week we looked at the broad topic of green infrastructure, today is a
closer look at green rooves. No these are not rooves which have been painted
green, they’re rooves which have what is effectively a raised bed on the top
(in small scale cases) or a full garden i.e. on skyscrapers. Small scale green
rooves are great for a little cheer but also reducing rain runoff into drains
and so helps to reduce flooding. Larger scale projects provide people with an
escape from work and other daily stresses. As well as mental health benefits
larger green rooves i.e. those with trees and shrubs, also help to reduce
carbon dioxide and other small particle levels.
