COPENHAGEN BRINGS IN GREEN ROOF POLICY

JUNE 9th, 2010

In a sign of things to come Copenhagen has become the first Scandinavian city to adopt a mandatory green roof policy. The policy is a keystone in Copenhagen’s drive to become a carbon neutral city by 2025. From now on, all buildings built with roof slopes of 30 degrees or less will be required to be covered with vegetation. This policy could mean as much as 5,000 square metres of grassy Danish roofs a year.
