Description

As climate change and growing urban populations place increasing pressure on our cities, Visions takes a closer look at innovative ways we can make our towns more liveable, such as green roofs. We followed a team from the Melbourne School of Land and Environment who developed Australia's first research green roof and have now built The Burnley Green Roofs Project. See http://www.land-environment.unimelb.edu.au/expertise/sustainable-cities/girg/. The project was officially launched last month by the Vice Chancellor Professor Glyn Davis and Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle.
