Green Roofs in SF's Civic Center--and Around the World
BY LAURA TAM, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM DIRECTOR
National Geographic recently featured a photo essay of green roofs around the world. Featured projects included the Academy of Sciences (of course!), but also a Civic Center bus shelter that SPUR's green roofs task force worked hard to design and build. Diane Loviglio, a task force leader, came up with the idea that was later funded by the Academy as a way to bring green roofs to the pedestrian realm.
