Livingroofs.org would like to thank the following:
Pete Massini, Jill Goddard, James Farrell, Rachael Hill, John Newton, and Jamie Dean for their support in getting green roofs happening in London. Without their enthusiasm and energy over the past 7 years, our different approaches to green roofs might never have left the ground.
Peter Allnutt, Nick Ridout, Mark Harris and Dr Alun Rhys-Tarr from the green roof manufacturers and suppliers for their encouragement, commitment, and support.
Stephan Brenneisen in Switzerland who has been a real catalyst for much of our work on biodiversity and green roofs, and a joy to work with.

Green Places: dedicated to improving public space
Green Places covers the creation, management and use of public space ? from urban squares to country parks. It is the only publication to link all public space interests and its coverage transcends professional boundaries. As a result, the journal has a diverse readership including: green space managers, landscape architects, urban designers, artists and community groups. It reflects the latest thinking from all those who influence our public spaces, stimulates debate, and ensures best practice is shared widely. It is published by the Landscape Design Trust whose mission is to foster understanding and awareness of the landscape for the benefit of the environment and the community.
