Manual para la implementación de techos verdes y jardines verticales, basado en los diferentes microclimas de la Ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

Green roofs and vertical gardens provide benefits not only environmental, but also social and infrastructure, which makes them a good alternative to apply in different structures in cities. This guide presents the different types of roofs and gardens that can be implemented, as well as the appropriate species for them depending on the specific climate of the city of Bogotá, which will determine the duration and proper maintenance of these constructions. Knowing the different microclimates of Bogotá it is possible to determine the species that best adapt in each area of the city, so the plants do not require additional special care since they are in their appropriate climatic zone and also the life cycle of the species does not affected by being in unsuitable areas, so the replacement of these is carried out in longer periods of time.
