Urban Agriculture, increase Health and mitigate pullution

Green roofs involve growing vegetation on rooftops and are one tool that can help mitigate the negative effects of pollution. This review encompasses published research to date on how green roofs can help mitigate pollution, how green roof materials influence the magnitude of Health . infill development is often associated with increased traffic congestion, loss of greenspace, and loss of neighbourhood character and property values by existing residents . On the other, the potential for land-use conflict between greenspace and infill development in urban areas, can result in a lack of greenspace that reinforces the image of cities as polluted, noisy, and dirty places to live, further hampering efforts to implement densification and infill. Green roofs have been shown to mitigate against these barriers in two ways. First, the addition of greenspace has been shown to contribute to increased productivity . Part of this is due to biophilia, our deep attachment to, and need for, natural surroundings , which has been shown to influence worker productivity, health, well-being, and sense of place - that emphermal quality so essential to the success of a city and its communities . The ability of green roofs to help mitigate the urban heat island effect as well as substantially reduce and filter stormwater run-off, is becoming well known. These attributes can significantly improve municipal infrastructure by simultaneously providing reduced heating and cooling demand loads and energy costs as well as reducting combined sewage overflows .With green roof infrastructure, rooftops can serve, multiple purposes and become parks, nature preserves, community gardens, or simply beautiful places to look upon. Lastly, the addition of greenspace without the usual land-use conflicts has shown promise in re-creating habitat in urban areas , an essential part of the Smart Growth doctrine and the health of a city. Air pollution causes millions of deaths each year where ۳.۷ million people pass away due to ambient air pollution, and ۴.۳ million die from household pollution.
