Green roofs and their role in improving the shape of neglected areas

Abstract EN

A relatively new and improvised concept of transforming traditional roofs into green roofs, which involves mini plantation and growing of grass over roofs in urban areas to look fresh and aesthetically different is what is called green roofs concept.

this research study discusses a wide variety of climates and how to monitor those environments, with the implementation of green roofs as well as, how these green roofs can impact urban environment and crowded places like cities.

there are certain aspects of these green roofs in urban areas that needs to be properly emphasized, which involves filtration of air pollutants in those respective areas, oxygen production that is much needed in respective area, a way to reduce loss of rainwater discharged from roof surfaces, and contributing towards the reduction of urban heat, as well as, improving the roof top surfaces, contributing towards the noise reduction, and increase the vegetation area.

this research has affirmed another thing that there is a necessity to conduct researches in this domain to determine how these motives can impact green roofs movements and how it can transform the environment in city centers or in downtown.

the results might not be similar from different authors, but the parameters and motives of growing this green roof movement and its impact on the environment and house owners would be the same from every author and from every research study.

this research work has also provided structural recommendations for the future green roof study models and how they ca advance their level of research in getting this movement started.

the basic aim behind this research was to highlight the influence and impact of green roofs on the environment in urban setups so, there might be a positive and constructive contribution towards the green roof movement.
