Represents an informed and progressive way of approaching our environmental response to urban design
Makes a compelling case that the long-term health and viability of our communities depend upon highly functioning green roof ecologies that connect green spaces to create a resilient tapestry of natural diversity spanning the urban landscape
Invaluable reference for policy makers, ecologists, biologists and more, who wish to implement ecologically conscious green roofs
