About the Book

In cities all around the world, forgotten rooftops can change the way we conserve energy. These vast and underutilized spaces have the power to reduce energy consumption and produce food. They also have the power to provide homes for vulnerable wildlife.

All that's required is a simple rooftop garden. By creating more green spaces in the sky, we can transform our cities with eco-friendly measures. That will benefit everyone.

Rooftop gardens offer a solution to our urban crisis. They are an easy, cost-effective way to reduce a building's energy consumption while promoting a variety of other benefits.

Rooftop gardens are incredibly effective insulation systems and can help to lower the cost of cooling a building. While soil naturally functions as an insulator, the plants on top can also drop the temperature through photosynthesis and transpiration.

Covering urban rooftops with greenspaces would be a great solution for the heat island effect. Not only would these rooftop gardens lower the temperature, but they also work in removing harmful pollutants from the air through natural filtration systems. Urban jungles can make our work and living spaces healthier for our bodies and the environment.

The amount of money saved is largely down to climate and, of course, electricity consumption. In more temperate climates, the savings will not be as much as those living in more extreme temperatures as heaters and air conditioners are rarely used. However, regardless of the weather, rooftop gardens can help to reduce energy expenditures overall.

Rooftop gardening is not only the source of fresh fruits and vegetables but also provides in-depth ecosystem services and promotes the sustainability of urban areas. They have significant importance and share on monetary benefits acquired from soft benefits such as food production, stormwater retention, air quality, and carbon sequestration benefits.
