“Sky Meadows – Integrating People and Nature: Sustainable Green Roofs and Roof Gardens” with Dr. Nigel Dunnett
Green roofs represent a unique opportunity for inserting large areas of diverse, naturalistic, biodiversity-supporting, and beautiful vegetation into the heart of our urban areas: an opportunity that is virtually impossible to repeat in the same way on the ground.
Sustainable solutions now exist for all contexts: large and small, public, private, intensive through to extensive. Drawing upon the dramatic potential of dryland vegetation around the world, and his own research and practice, the author looks again at the ethical and aesthetic considerations for creating green roofs that are exciting for people, beneficial for wildlife, and low in resource-use.
