| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses rooftop landscaping, stating that "rooftop landscaping incorporates nature into the urban environment and gives it the feel of a community in the suburbs." Mentions possible environmental benefits to rooftop landscaping, including reduction of air pollution, reduction of energy costs, and prevention of storm water runoff. Discusses potential challenges to intalling a rooftop landscape, stating that "large trees and plants must be delivered by crane and large amounts of soil deposited by specialized blower trucks. Crews often work without the typical installation equipment found on other project sites. Costs can be steep, if not prohibitive." Concludes that "everybody wants a garden, something nice to look at besides brick and concrete. [Rooftop landscaping] is a way to do that." |
