A deep understanding of the implications of green roof retrofit is
required amongst students and practitioners to make the decisions and
take the actions needed to mitigate climate changes. Green Roof
Retrofit: building urban resilience illustrates the processes
undertaken to develop this new knowledge and thereby embed a deeper
level of understanding in readers.Illustrative case studies and
exemplars are drawn from countries outside of the core researched areas
to demonstrate the application of the knowledge more broadly. Examples
are used from the Americas (North and South and Canada), Oceania, Asia
and other European countries.The book describes the multiple criteria
which inform decision making and how this provides a way forward for
making better decisions about green roof retrofit in different countries
and climates.
