Green roofs are sprouting up across the rooftops of New York City bringing color, green space and environmental benefits. Green roofs cover as much as 65% of city roofscapes in Germany, but still are a relatively new phenomena in New York City. Why? Learn from local experts about the benefits that green roofs provide to both the community and the building owner.
