Green roof? how about Green tracks?
It is not new idea combining landscaping with public transportation but European trams greenways show the potential of incorporating landscaping into good urban design. This allows public transportation to be part of urban fabric. Not only it looks aesthetically good but it can also partially contribute to reduce impact of urban heat island. However, there is upcoming problems. Maintenance issue. Due to the different climate issues and maintenance of water it may not stay as green as it should be in the future. Perception is everything. Many people tend to assume grass turning brown is dead but in fact it may not be. It may be going dormant. Particularly the area with dry and hot climate. Therefore it is required public to understand the conflict with aesthetic issue and acceptable on how it is.
