Here the maximum use of the roof.
The living space of the residents of cities a long time ago taken away not just the trees, and the jungle of glass and concrete, with the result that greenery in cities is becoming less and less. Many cities have already faced this problem, and, an afterthought, are now forced bit by bit to return the land to the plants, so that people could somehow breathe.
Asian cities are especially noticeable: first, as all the greens mercilessly destroyed, roll up entire blocks of asphalt and building skyscrapers on top of each other, and now dropping off the bushes, grass and trees on every available inch of land. But all this is sorely insufficient, therefore, in Seoul, many plant trees… even on the roofs of their houses, break there is lawn and planted with live shrubs.
In Seoul, residents have not opposed to the renovations and happy to share sidewalks and superfluous centimeters of the road for planting of pines or external to the flower beds with grass and flowers. I think once we come to this, realizing the streets without greenery become cold and lifeless.
If you climb on any roof in Seoul and look around, you notice that everywhere on the roofs of houses trees with shrubs or there’s just lawn. It’s not zabroski for whom nobody cares, as it may seem. Trees, shrubs and grass are planted here on purpose. While buying very expensive land far from the city, or bring it and picking up on the rooftops.
As the trees grow on the roofs of residential buildings where they are planted by the owners of the buildings or the top floor, and almost at any office skyscrapers. As a rule, rest areas for staff offices, mini parks on the roof or restaurants.
In fact, if armed with telephoto and very carefully go through the roof, it becomes apparent that almost all of them equipped and landscaped. Really, why waste precious square meters?
