Why do we need to think about stormwater management? Urbanization has fundamentally altered natural landscapes, replacing permeable green spaces with impermeable ones like asphalt and concrete. This inevitable transition has created a critical challenge for cities: managing the vast amounts of stormwater generated during heavy rainfall. The consequences of inadequate stormwater management are clear—flooded streets, overwhelmed drainage systems, and degraded water quality. Climate change with its more frequent and severe rain events is pushing urban infrastructure to its limits. It’s clear that cities need innovative and sustainable solutions to address these challenges. This is where green roof systems step in, offering a forward-thinking approach to stormwater management while delivering additional environmental and social benefits.
