MALMO, SWEDEN: A green roof at the MKB (Malmö municipal housing company) buildings in the Western Harbor district looks out onto the Turning Torso highrise.

The biotop roof is maintained by the Scandinavian Green Roof Institute.

The flowers and shrubs planted on the roofs attract a range of birds and insects.

"I think green roofs also bring a great deal of aesthetic value for the people with balconies and windows facing them," says Jonatan Malmberg, head of projects and development at the Scandinavian Green Roof Institute.
