Well if there's nothing more specific than that, I guess we can only disagree on the aesthetics. I think the most important bit is have greenery+shading and if trees are too heavy for that, then I guess they can put in shrubs or vining plants on scaffolding or whatever. But I want to emphasize again...

I've seen that video yes. I think it will save the planet because rooftop gardens please my aesthetic sensibilities. It's good to put trees on the roof.
