SDG 11: Rooftop Garden

The UN sustainable development goal I chose to relate my photo to was SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. This goal covers sustainable, resilient, and safe cities and communities.

Green spaces are a form of sustainable infrastructure. These include parks, cemeteries, gardens, and green roofs. Green space have ecosystem services, city benefits, and health benefits. The benefits include improved air & water quality, alleviation of stress, and improved mental and physical health. Green infrastructure is a cheaper and more sustainable method to help reduce flooding and help mitigate extreme weather events to aid current infrastructure.

This photo is of a rooftop garden at UMD, an example of a green space, which I often go to relax and do work.
