The Green City: Understanding our Green Spaces

Not many people realise Salford is 60% green space, and there are many exciting projects going on to celebrate and protect its urban nature. Dr Sam Hayes takes us on a journey into the importance of green spaces in Greater Manchester through the work of researchers at the University of Salford. In this video we will explore the impact of green space on wellbeing, the benefits of running and cycling in the natural world, the importance of biodiversity and how we can contribute to protecting it.

That`s all fine and dandy but as an engineer I can assure you that roof gardens are a bunch of nonsense that just make your roof leak more.

If you want more greenery then fixing housing regulation so that roof green and terrace green spaces are not counted as part of the green spaces installed by the builder might be a better option. Slopped roofs are also a better option than flat roofs.
