Chicago's green roof push reshapes cityscape and policy
Chicago under Mayor Daley expands green roofs and trees, turning rooftops into beehive beacons and rainwater channels. The effort includes 400 000 trees, 2.5 million square feet of green roofs, 10 000 bike racks, and a plan for 500 miles of bike lanes by 2015, signaling a lasting urban environmental shift.
