This integrated design features a green roof that dramatically counters the urban heat island effect, a phenomenon where cities are significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas. By covering the roof with vegetation, it provides natural cooling through evapotranspiration, reducing the energy needed for air conditioning.
The green roof is also a vital strategy in stabilizing the planet’s environment. The plants help absorb carbon dioxide (), releasing oxygen () and thereby contributing to more stable oxygen levels globally. This absorption of greenhouse gases makes the green roof an important tool in the fight to stabilize global warming.
Integrated into this ecological landscape is an exercise path (or rooftop track) that offers a unique recreational space. This path not only encourages physical health and wellness but also provides users with a serene, nature-filled environment high above the urban bustle. It transforms an otherwise unused space into a productive, green amenity, combining environmental sustainability with community health.
