Rooftop gardens and greenery can help in easing some of the severe heat in cities, found recent research which was led by NASA s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Due to an effect called the “urban heat island,” temperatures are often ten degrees higher in cities than in surrounding areas due to the heat absorption and retention of materials like asphalt and concrete. Bright rooftops that reflect the sun or “green roofs” filled with plants and greenery can alleviate some of the extreme city heat, new research by climate scientists from New York’s NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) said.
according to climate experts, rooftop gardens can help alleviate the city's extreme heat. According to climate experts at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, rooftop gardens and vegetation can help alleviate several of the city's extreme heat.
Even as the summers have set in, and the scorching heat makes both indoors and outdoors seem similar, climate scientists at NASA have suggested that rooftop gardens and greenery can help ease some of the severe heat in cities.For several .
