Modeling Košice Green Roofs Maps [PDF]
Selected Scientific Papers - Journal of Civil Engineering, 2017 Abstract The need to house population in urban areas is expected to rise to 66% in 2050, according to United Nations. The replacement of natural permeable green areas with concrete constructions and hard surfaces will be noticed. The densification of existing built-up areas is responsible for the decreasing vegetation, which results in ...
