Urban Rooftop Forests

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

101 Warren Street is an Oasis of Green in the Big Apple

— January 11, 2011 — Eco
Most buildings (especially in dense urban centers) are oftentimes only as green-conscious as convenience and minimal effort allows; 101 Warren Street is not one of those buildings.

With exactly 101 Pines scattered across it's top surfaces, 101 Warren Street goes above and beyond the call of duty by treating its residents (and the residents of nearby buildings) to a fantastically encouraging sight: a genuine urban forest.

Implications - The types of Pine trees on the top of 101 Warren Street are called Austrian Pines. The pretty trees are green all year long and "help decrease urban heat island effect." They are planted in a specific "formation of mounded ellipse-shaped forms." It would be amazing if all buildings had forests atop their premises.
Trend Themes
1. Urban Rooftop Forests - The trend of creating urban rooftop forests presents opportunities for architects and developers to incorporate green spaces in dense urban areas, improving air quality and reducing the urban heat island effect.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Construction - In the architecture and construction industry, the trend of urban rooftop forests opens up opportunities for integrating sustainable and green design principles, creating buildings that enhance the well-being of occupants and contribute to environmental sustainability.
2. Real Estate - The real estate industry can tap into the trend of urban rooftop forests to differentiate properties and attract eco-conscious homebuyers and tenants. Developments with rooftop forests provide a unique selling point and contribute to livability and value.
3. Urban Planning and Development - Urban planners and developers can leverage the trend of urban rooftop forests to transform city skylines and create more sustainable and resilient urban environments. Rooftop forests can enhance biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and improve the overall quality of life in cities.
