We all complain about heat waves and droughts, yet let rainwater—the solution—drain, away unused. While it is sometimes harvested for individual use, we envision a more collective approach: using it on rooftops to transform a city’s microclimate. Our goal in Biotopization of Roofscapes is to turn urban rooftops into vibrant, climate-resilient ecosystems that help combat heat and support biodiversity.
