Rooftop utilisation in cities can serve as insulative elements and provide green, open areas. However, rooftops are an untapped resource for urban sustainability in many Southern European cities. The ARtes project aims to transform these spaces into productive green areas that enhance urban life and foster economic opportunities in sectors like urban agriculture, renewable energy, and recreational businesses. The project team will develop innovative design and engineering solutions to overcome barriers to rooftop adaptation. A key expected outcome is the creation of multifunctional, accessible rooftop environments that contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promoting biodiversity while aligning with the European Renovation Wave and New European Bauhaus.
