Green city

Considering the increased number of violent storms due to climate change, green roofs can also control water runoff and thereby reduce the risk of flooding. By helping to reduce the drainage rate, local drainage systems are better able to cope.

Increased urbanisation has not only reduced the number of green spaces but has significantly decreased the population’s physical and mental health. There is much evidence that having access to green spaces reduces stress levels and improves personal well-being.

Green roofs can improve our urban environment. The diminishing number of green spaces in our towns and cities is not only have a devastating impact on our flora and fauna but is also creating serious problems for the health and well-being of the people living in these environments.
