 An increasingly frequent urban sight (although not in Arizona and the West) green roofs demonstrate a new meaning and purpose for roofs. Roofs, a hitherto taken-for-granted, inauspicious urban feature, are being adapted to take advantage of the natural elements of water, sun, soil and vegetation, to achieve environmental benefits. In the process a new word is coined: roofscape.
