Hi everyone! A bit over a month ago I made a survey about Solarpunk and shared it here. Now, I finally present you the findings of the survey! I am adding a few pics here for a preview and if you are interested, go check the link where there is a full description of the findings!!

    Yeah, for me I see stuff like ivy growing on the sides to bring nature into urban spaces, and maybe greenhouses or gardens on the roof. Trees require a lot of soil and junk, and their roots can cause a lot of damage that you wouldn’t expect. I’d probably answer yes to the question even though it isn’t “trees” exactly I envision, but still green plant growth.

      Good point! I’m on the same page of understanding “trees on buildngs” to mean general greenery.

      Your comment did get me thinking: It would be cool if we could find a way to direct tree roots. Like how in yards if a tree root breaks into the water lines, they’ll fill that space since it is clear and full of nutrients. It’s bad for the pipes, but if done purposefully could maybe help mitigate the damage caused by large tree root systems.
