ABSTRACT

This chapter uses built project case studies to illustrate how principles covered in previous chapters are applied together and at three different scales of living roof design scenarios: the single lot, city block and neighborhood. Throughout the preceding chapters, it has been argued that living roofs must be integrated into social and environmental infrastructural systems if municipal infrastructure is to be protected and strengthened. These examples demonstrate how it is possible, positive and necessary at all scales for living roofs to be designed and understood in this way.
