Green roofs are more than design features; they are tools for climate action. This tour highlights how rooftop landscapes can cool cities, manage stormwater, and increase urban biodiversity.

The tour takes place at 127 Tremont St., The Monty Boston, a landmark green roof project overlooking Boston Common that demonstrates how policy, design, and stewardship intersect to create meaningful environmental impact. Attendees will gain practical insights into stormwater performance, green roof design, plant communities, maintenance strategies, and the collaborative process required to deliver successful living infrastructure projects. The session will illustrate how landscape architects, planners, developers, and policymakers can leverage green roofs to meet regulatory requirements while advancing broader ecological and community goals.

This tour will be led by

Philip Sima, founder, Balance Architects

Brendan Shea, building envelope & green infrastructure expert, Soprema USA

Mark Winterer, co-founder + owner, Recover Green Roofs

Steph Almasi, director of horticulture and maintenance, Recover Green Roofs
