Abstract

To promote urban revegetation and to create comfortable living and working environments, the authors developed a unique system for the purpose of greening building rooftops and verandas without using soil. This greening system can be used to grow not only grass but small trees. This repor first describes the background to the development, then the outline of the system, and finally various achievements reached by the system, such as cooling through evaporation.
