Planting Green Roofs and Living Walls
This book introduces a revolutionary new concept to gardeners. Planting on roofs and walls began in Europe, but it is now becoming popular all over the world. Green roofs and walls reduce pollution and run-off, and also help insulate and reduce the maintenance needs of buildings. Planting Green Roofs and Living Walls discusses the practical techniques required to make planting on roofs and walls a reality. It describes how roofs may be modified to bear the weight of vegetation, considers the different options for drainage layers and growing media, and lists the plants suitable for different climates and environments. This informative book will encourage gardeners everywhere to consider the enormous benefits to be gained from planting on their roofs and walls.

CITY HIGH-RISE GARDENING
If you live in a downtown condo in a high-rise building and often dream of relaxing in a garden to take a well-earned break from your busy lifestyle, then this book is for you. City High-Rise Gardening consists of three parts that explore and highlight essential areas of urban gardening. Part 1, Fresh from the Balcony, covers vegetable gardening for urban living. Part 2, Urban Herb Heaven, is about cultivating flavorful greens in small spaces, and Part 3, Seasonal Bites, provides ideas for cooking with your homegrown harvest. In her book, Vittoria Navone offers insight not only for absolute beginners with no prior gardening experience but also for seasoned gardeners who, for some reason, had to leave their lush gardens behind and move to a concrete jungle in the heart of a pulsating city with limited space for gardening.
Green Walls in High-Rise Buildings
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has produced four Technical Guides to date, since the series launched in late 2012. Each of these guides is the product of a CTBUH Working Group—committees formed specifically to address focused topical subjects in the industry. The intention of each guide is the same—to provide working knowledge to the typical building owner or professional who wants a better understanding of available options for improving tall buildings, and what affects their design. The object of the series is to provide a tool-kit for the creation of better-performing tall buildings, and to spread the understanding of the considerations that need to be made in designi...

The Vertical City
Each century has its own unique approach toward addressing the problem of high density and the 21st century is no exception. As cities try to cope with rapid population growth - adding 2.5 billion dwellers by 2050 - and grapple with destructive sprawl, politicians, planners and architects have become increasingly interested in the vertical city paradigm. Unfortunately, cities all over the world are grossly unprepared for integrating tall buildings, as these buildings may aggravate multidimensional sustainability challenges resulting in a “vertical sprawl” that could have worse consequences than “horizontal” sprawl. By using extensive data and numerous illustrations this book provides...
