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 research provides a framework for the future of green roof planning and design in urban settings.
