Here is Spacing.ca’s Monday morning article: Dianna Graham takes us on a geurrilla tour of green rooftops in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The bustle of St. Petersburg life seemingly takes place within two levels. The subterranean level leads you down escalators of several hundred feet to the crowded metro below. Aboveground, the buildings of the charming city centre funnel the traffic and pedestrians between with their flat fronts. The city’s relentlessly consistent height of 20 metres can become oppressive and so when you discover the city’s third level, it’s a surprising exploration of an unlikely city dimension.

Do we have anything like this in Toronto? That would be pretty neat… laneway tours, green roof tours… i think it would be great.
There are a few green roofs, but we need more.
Toronto should make it the law that all new skyscrapers have to have a certain % of their roof space made a green roof.
