Green spaces above our heads
Roof gardens, or gardens built on the top of city buildings, have become very
popular in recent years, particularly in developed cities. It is even predicted that
they will be the future of city architecture. This is because lack of space and
overpriced land in cities makes it difficult to increase the number of parks and
other green areas. So, what makes these 'green roofs' so attractive to city
dwellers?
Roof gardens can improve air quality in cities. Plants take in and keep heat and
light, and help to cool the environment around them. This way, green roofs help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to heating and cooling buildings. They

also help decrease dust pollution and the formation of smog, a mixture of smoke
and fog, which is common in big cities.
Moreover, green roofs can provide new habitats for wildlife. They can help
reduce the impact of urban development on habitat loss. For example, the City
Hall in Chicago, the USA, has become home to more than 20,000 plants of over
150 different kinds. The living roof of Vancouver Convention Centre in Canada
hosts 400,000 plants and 60,000 bees. Roof gardens also attract birds and insects,
which increases the biodiversity in the area.
In summary, roof gardens can reduce pollution and improve human interaction
with nature by introducing green space into the built environment. Connecting
with nature is beneficial to our physical and mental health, and can increase
quality of life.
