PhMayor Bloomberg's eco-friendly 'roofscaping' in NY - Photos

Disregard the Ph before Mayor in the thread title. I didn’t backspace far enough. :smack:

The Mayors eco-friendly ‘roofscaping’ seems to have dramatically changed NY’s high rise roofs.

It does seem like a great idea. My only question is what the added moisture (from the soil and plants) and load weight is doing to those roofs? Hopefully that’s all been studied before moving forward with this project.

Some amazing photos. I’d love to visit some of those rooftop gardens & parks.

My favorite photo is the one acre urban rooftop farm in Queens. The results are stunning. That’s a lot of food for some lucky people.

Surprising that the didn’t include the roof gardens at Rockefeller Plaza, which predate Bloomberg’s initiative by decades.
