Chicago City Hall Green Roof

Chicago City Hall's green roof is a sustainable landscaping feature installed on its roof, consisting of vegetation planted in a controlled environment. It helps absorb rainwater, reducing runoff and preventing flooding. The green roof also improves air quality, lowers the building’s energy costs by providing insulation, and promotes urban biodiversity by creating a habitat for plants and birds. Additionally, it serves as an educational example of environmentally friendly infrastructure, demonstrating Chicago’s commitment to sustainability and climate resilience.
