Short summary
Adding plants to roofs of buildings can reduce indoor and outdoor temperatures and so can reduce urban overheating, which is expected to increase due to climate change and urban growth. To better understand the effect this has on the urban environment, we need data on how many buildings have green roofs already. We used a computer vision model to find green roofs in aerial imagery in London, producing a dataset identifying what buildings have green roofs and improving on previous methods.
