Greenroofing towns and cities in Orissa and India: collection in progress
Greenroofing Comments Off on Greenroofing towns and cities in Orissa and India: collection in progressMost building roofs in India are flat, and this is ideal for having green roofs. Green roofing the buildings has many advantages:
- Decreases the temperature of the building, and the surroundings
- Puts less pressure in the drainage system; especially useful in towns like Cuttack which do not have proper drainage systems.
- More space for planting
Overall, it is good for the environment.
Here I will collect links on Greenroofing and use it to encourage my friends and family to have green roofs in their homes and buildings in Orissa. I hope the Government of Orissa and some of the city authorities will aso encourage this in Orissa and its cities and towns.
