How can cities be designed to be more resilient to climate change impacts?what you think are the greatest problems cities face from climate change and what you think are some solutions to these problems? You might mention specific issues related to your experience in your communities, i.e. from Sandy or Irene or other events. How should we respond to these events through planning and design? Also, what are the obstacles or barriers that we need to overcome to implement these designs? you might want to relate to very specific events and how sustainable urban design would make these events less threatening.

Please discuss the benefits of green roofs. Feel free to provide some examples of green roofs or green roof cities you know or heard about. Green Roofs Towards Circular and Resilient Cities Green roofs are gaining interest as nature-based solutions (NBS) to counteract with several environmental and socio-economic problems associated to urban sprawl and climate change. The challenge is to transform the built environment through the inclusion of NBS. Taking advantage of the existing space in the top of the buildings, the integration of green roofs will support the cities’ transition towards circularity and resilience. They provide several ecosystem services and can act as multifunctional and decentralized units. In order to boost these services, green roofs need to be effectively incorporated and replicated in the urban landscape. Different configuration of systems may be considered depending on the challenges that the city foresees. To fully implement green roofs, it is important that…
