U of T Study Examines Health of City's Green Roofs

Researchers from the University of Toronto's John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design conducted an in-depth analysis of green rooftops in Toronto.

The study used aerial remote sensing technology to track vegetation health across nearly 1,500 roofs in Toronto between 2011 and 2018.

The interdisciplinary team provided a framework for future green roof planning and design in urban settings.
