Description: "On top of densifying cities, there is plenty of room to fix the housing challenge, energy transition, climate adaptation and inclusiveness. In this combination of challenges, one helps the other. This requires good design, effective policy, broad research and varied examples. ... In Rotterdam alone, 18.5 km² of flat rooftop space is just waiting for us to use it!"--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper.
