Green roofs and vertical greening in Hong Kong

On 19 May 2014, we organised a seminar on Green Roofs and Vertical Greening in Hong Kong. Over 150 members joined the seminar, during which Dr Hui introduced the basic concepts and potential benefits of green roofs and vertical greening. He stated that the major considerations behind this concept included structural loading, waterproofing, climatic factors, and costs and commitment. He found that the application of green roofs and vertical greening is growing quickly in Hong Kong and attributed it to its potential environmental, economic, and social benefits.
