How do we make this outstanding alternative to conventional solutions as a part of our urban planning and design? In Copenhagen and Denmark we are in a process of still growing attention and awareness of this multifunctional climate adapted solution and still more municipalities incorporate the green roofs as part of their planning. But we are also facing some challenges like quality and economy in the choice of green roofs and how to meet these?
