No Roof Unused: Turning skylines from grey to green
Show Notes

How can we make the most of unused space in cities? 

As 68% of us are predicted to be living in urban areas by 2050, finding innovative ways to green cities is more important than ever. In this episode host Sarah Divall investigates the rise of green roofs in urban areas and how they're helping to reduce temperatures and flooding, as well as providing an oasis in the city skyline for people and wildlife.
