Module Overview

As urbanisation intensifies and climate change drives rising temperatures, cities are experiencing growing challenges in maintaining liveability. Addressing these issues requires a proactive and integrated approach to urban design, where green infrastructure plays a central role in creating healthier, more resilient environments. This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, functions, and applications of green roofs and green walls. It examines key environmental considerations in their design, including UHI, lighting, temperature, and wind dynamics, alongside plant selection strategies and approaches to optimise environmental performance and sustainability outcomes. The module aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills required to effectively integrate green infrastructure into urban settings, supporting climate-responsive and resilient urban development.
