I'm very proud to announce that my hometown Antwerp just decided to make Green roofs obligatory for all flat roofs. Everyone who starts renovating their flat roof is obliged to make it a green roof.
This doesn't mean they have to create a whole garden, althought that's what I would do, just the basic of wild plants is enough. There is more then just an ecological benefit to this, it's also interesting on a financial level. Green roofs have shown that they protect and isolate the building and on top of that the roof doesn't wear out so easily. It's a win, win.. Keep an eye on this blog, because COCO GREEN will soon be starting some city gardening and landscaping projects! This new legislation only opens more doors to a conscious, green way of being a city girl! love it :)
My favorite Antwerp Green roof, the one at RA, including a mystical, small mountain <3
