ABSTRACT
§ People are drawn to water -We're naturally drawn to aquatic hues and people associate this color with
qualities like calm, openness, depth and wisdom.

§ Human interaction with water is foremost feature that calls for riverfront development. People have a strong
desire to feel it, reach it; and thus it becomes very important that approach to water should be given, public
space production along the river shore should be primary purpose.

§ This paper focused to develop a set of guidelines that contribute to the establishment of socio interactive
spaces at riverfront.

§ Research will also explore on current riverfront developments and notion of place identity and place making
by the development of recreational spaces.

§ Different case studies and their analysis will provide the strategies of a successful riverfront with meaningful
socio interactive spaces.

§ From the synthesis of findings a set of design attributes are framed.

INFERENCE

• Multiple activities in different zones along riverfront. All the sectors of urban activities
(economic-productive, residential, pertaining to culture and leisure, mobility), should be
properly mixed

• River front should be developed keeping in mind previous and original uses for these zones
with the purpose of keeping alive the memory of such unusual aspects, and preserving old
identity of these places.

CONCLUSION

• A road map of all routes that facilitate and develop interaction between different activities
rather than separating them.

• The side by side development of ‘public and private’ is referring to functions (government
offices, museums etc), spaces (plazas, roads, parks etc) and the actors managing the
services on the riverfront.

ABSTRACT

• Rapid urbanization made by deforestation has created a massive negative impact on our environment.

• Huge patch of green cover has been lost resulting in many flora, fauna and animals gone extinct.

• Climate change is also attributed to deforestation which has affected our socio-economic conditions.

• Increased cost of land in urban areas prohibits us from getting the green cover back in open spaces,
hence turning roofs into greenery could be significant source of urban greenery and mitigate the issues related to
urbanization.

• This paper presents the advantages, disadvantages, planning consideration, components of green roofs along
with its holistic benefits.
INTRODUCTION
Green roofs which are also known as living roofs or eco roofs, are special type of roofs over which vegetative landscaping is
used as an effective strategy to enhance the built environment.

Green roof concept can be introduced to the design of a new building or at times to existing buildings
which aims at providing durability and longevity to rooftop along with improving the aesthetics of buildings.

AIM

Green roofs provide shade, remove heat from the air, and reduce temperatures of the roof surface and surrounding air.
Using green roofs in cities or other built environments with limited vegetation can moderate the heat island effect,
particularly during the day.

OBJECTIVES

The environmental benefits of green roofs include a reduced peak run-off flow and lower surface water
run-off volume. The reduction in peak run-off and lower surface water run-off is achieved by absorption
of part of the rainfall and postponing the initial time of run-off by the green roof.
Benefits of green roofs

Green roofs provide a wider range of benefits which includes,

• Reduced surface water runoff

• Energy Efficiency

• Enhanced local biodiversity

• Increased lifespan and durability of roofs

• Better local air quality

• Psychological benefits

• Reduced Urban Heat Island effect

• Noise Reduction
Types of Green Roofs

Green roofs can be installed on a wide range of buildings, from industrial facilities to
private residences. There are two types of green roofs: extensive and intensive.

Extensive Green Roofs Intensive Green Roofs

• Tend to be more complex, such as a
• Tend to be simpler, with hardy
plants and a growing medium depth
of two to four inches
• Require the least amount of added
structural support since they are
lightweight
• Need little maintenance once
established
fully accessible park complete with
trees
• Resemble conventional gardens or
parks
• Require more structural support
since they are heavier
• Require a higher initial investment

• Require more intensive

maintenance
NEED TO STUDY

• Cool roofs present another option to reduce the heat island effect. Cool roofs are made of highly reflective and
emissive materials that remain cooler than traditional materials during peak temperatures.

• Reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions: By lowering air-conditioning demand, green roofs can
decrease the associated air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from conventional power sources.
Vegetation can also remove pollutants and GHGs from the air through dry deposition and carbon sequestration
and storage, respectively.
• Reduced energy use: Green roofs remove heat from the air through the process of evapotranspiration, and also act
as insulators for buildings, reducing the energy needed to provide cooling and heating.

• Improved human health and comfort: Green roofs, by reducing heat transfer through the building roof, can improve
indoor comfort, and lower the incidence of heat stress associated with heat waves.

• The EPA-published case study, Estimating the Environmental Effects of Green Roofs, demonstrates the
environmental and health benefits of green roofs for Kansas City, Missouri.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

• Green roofs reduce building energy use by cooling roofs and providing shading, thermal mass and
insulation.

• Biodiversity and Habitat: Green roofs provide new urban habitat for plants and animals, like birds and
insects, thereby increasing biodiversity.
RESEARCH QUESTION

a. How effective is a roof top garden in insulating a building?

b. what is the purpose of green roof building in urban environment?

c. how climate influences the performance of green roofs?

d. how to plant selection criteria for green roofs and living walls?

e. How to demonstrate effect of building height on green roof cooling?

CONCLUSION

• Green roofs can help mitigate the ecological problems that cities create by bringing the natural
cooling and water-treatment capabilities of undeveloped areas into the urban environment.

• Green roofs offer great potential savings and benefits. Although the added maintenance costs of a
green roof as compared with a conventional roof are significant, these added costs are more than
made up for over the roof’s lifetime by its increased longevity.

• On the area of energy, additional research is needed to determine the potential for green roofs to
reduce the air intake temperature and other energy usage issues for rooftop heating and cooling units.

• On the area of air pollution, increased research could help to determine the ability of green roof
planting to reduce particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and other air pollutants
