MultiRoofs

About the project

Space can be scarce in urban environments. Fortunately, cities have a lot of unused space on flat and slanted roofs. MultiRoofs is about identifying how we can make the most out of this space by using it in many ways. Space on rooftops can be used as a sustainable solution that increases territorial resilience and improves the livelihood of local communities. 

Roofs can be used in many beneficial ways, such as: 

• For renewable energy production
• To increase biodiversity 
• To improve air quality 
• To mitigate against the impact of flooding 
• To provide living spaces for communities

This project aims to connect local authorities, property owners, businesses, experts, interest groups and research organisations to jointly fast-track multifunctional utilisation of rooftops. 

The MultiRoofs project will develop strategies, implement pilot actions in the urban regions of project partners and deliver capacity building programmes that allow public authorities to set this ecosystem into motion. 

MultiRoofs promotes a green, smart and just transition for the North-West Europe region. It combats environmental degradation and the harmful effects of climate change.
