Pollinators welcome: Malta's green roof experiment


Listen Later

Malta is rapidly losing green spaces to roads and buildings. But when vegetation is so scarce on the ground, could it move onto the Mediterranean island's flat roofs? Antoine Gatt is a landscape architect who is promoting this idea. He talks to Daiva and Chris, ReThink's hosts, about how the many delights a green roof can offer.

You can read Nigel Borg's original article in the THINK magazine here: https://www.um.edu.mt/think/bloomin-roofs-go-green/ and Antoine Gatt's earlier article about the MedLifeGreenRoof project here: https://www.um.edu.mt/think/green-roof-malta/

ReThink is produced by THINK magazine (https://www.um.edu.mt/think/) together with Campus FM (http://maltauniversitybroadcasting.com/), and hosted by Daiva Repeckaite and Chris Styles.
