Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx) Rapid urban expansion over the past two decades in Tehran resulted from a high population growth rate and increased rural, urban migration combined with a strong tradition of centralization in the capital .4000 people die each year in Tehran from diseases caused by air pollution, ISNA news agency reported. Moreover, the pollution created by emissions from power generation increases absorption of radiation in the boundary layer (Oke 1982) and contributes to the creation of inversion layers. Tehran's air pollution is below the world standards and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran identified the pollution as a high priority environmental and health challenge. It is known that between 65 to 70 percent of total emissions are related to urban transport operations . Therefore, Green roofs could be one of the spatial solutions to solve such a big environmental problem.
