Currently, the land prices in urban areas is more expensive, and the growth of population and urbanization. One of the solutions of accommodation and space, is good place to level.

With multi-storey buildings, the need for additional space on land that is closer to be accommodated. So it is not surprising race to tall buildings or skyscrapers are often called to do.

Unfortunately, there is always the negative effects that result from the erosion of green areas for urban development is no attention to environmental impacts.

One result, large cities in Indonesia have a problem with the country for limited spaces. How not to open more and more small green area of large buildings such as apartments, shopping malls, hotels and office buildings replaced.

Based on the experience of planners and architects of buildings in other countries around the world, the problem may be of limited land use with a flat roof instead tricked green land.

Building towers in the middle of the crowded cities, planted on the roof (flat) of the active fleet, with plants, shrubs, grasses, trees and rice fields have been made on this issue.

This clever idea can also be applied to existing buildings high-rise buildings in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia that the problem of availability, will be green space. By creating a rooftop garden, buildings and equipment could have a green space because it is the efficiency of space.

green roof garden is an alternative to the quality of urban environment improvement. Currently, only a few large cities-star hotels, have a roof garden.

Make roof garden is not cheap and need structure and the roof structure specific. Even for optimal results, the construction of the roof into the garden from the beginning has been designed in such a way before the building was erected.

The positive and useful features of the garden on the roof of the building are:

1st As an absorber of heat and light (glare). Grass can absorb, for example, 80 percent of the heat and reflect only the remaining 20 percent only for the environment, so that they reduce the temperature in the urban areas.

2nd For insertion of toxic gases. For example, bamboo or palm trees absorb formaldehyde gas and gasoline. While the lily plant, in addition to absorb formaldehyde gas and gasoline, alcohol and acetone to the resulting absorbent painting. Creepers acetate is used to absorb gases, ammonia and other gases.

3rd Improving air quality by reducing carbon dioxide and oxygen increases. Not only dust filter can withstand wind plants, reducing air pollution and species at a habitat for birds and others.

4th As a games room to enjoy the greenery of the park, singing birds and butterflies flutter. lush and comfortable, which can reduce stress for employees in the building or, as other recreational facilities for children.

In the request, the garden is on the roof of the building still faces challenges, the owners themselves in charge. most cases by individual entrepreneurs (private) property, so that we can is a concept of cooperation and socialization to make and good to get there.
