Shanghai is well on the way to turning most of its rooftops green.
The Shanghai landscaping administration bureau said Monday that so far more than 95,000 sq m of rooftops have been covered in grass and shrubs, very close to the annual target of 100,000 sq m. The city will spend 5 million yuan ($710,000) this year on the campaign.

WillG added these pithy words on Aug 29 08 at 7:09 pmThis is great news. I read an awesome series of articles about Dongtan, the new eco-city just outside of Shanghai. The parent article is titled, “A New Green City for China” found at http://cleanerairforcities.blogspot.com/2008/08/new-green-city-for-china.html
Related posts have videos and a two-part interview with Arup, the city design firm.
