Dusty Gedge - Green Roofs and Urban Biodiversity.

Green roofs, or "vegetated roofs" or "living roofs", are structures covered with living plants that enhance urban biodiversity. They provide habitats for various species, improving the overall ecological balance. By creating new green spaces in urban areas, green roofs support diverse plant and animal life, including birds and insects. These roofs offer numerous environmental benefits, such as reducing the urban heat island effect, mitigating stormwater runoff, improving air quality, and conserving energy. Green roofs contribute to preserving urban biodiversity while enhancing the sustainability and resilience of cities.
