Arriving in Minneapolis late on Saturday afternoon, I set off down Nicolette Mall, the main street in downtown Minneapolis. A very small city center with every building being linked with aerial walkways due to the freezing winter temperatures. You can walk around the downtown area without stepping outside!
I checked out a few green roofs within walking distance of the city centre.
A roof garden has been built on top of a car park for the Cancer Survivors Park. It's a great example of how green roofs can be designed to enhance the urban landscape and provide much needed open space.
A green roof has recently been installed on the Minneapolis Public Library. Unfortunately, I couldn't get access but the building is amazing and the green roof generates a lot of public interest and education in the benefits.
