    Abstract : Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Dagens täta städer skapar många utmaningar för miljön. Hårda ytor gör att risken för översvämningar ökar och antropogenisk värme bidrar till att staden blir varmare än sin omgivning. Med hjälp av takvegetation, s k gröna tak, kan man minska dessa problem. READ MORE
