Cities are growing fast. The material used to construct buildings and roads such as concrete, iron, glass and asphalt accompanied by the lack of greenery in urban cities make these places particularly hot. Additionally, projections of temperature increase in the near future due to climate change make things worse threatening the health and comfort of the millions that already live in urban cities. Green roofs are a climate-responsive design with the potential to both adapt to and mitigate climate change. Join us in this episode to learn about green roofs in urban cities.
