Green public transport stops in Pilsen

Green roofs built on public transport stops in Pilsen help to cool overheated surfaces on hot days. During rainfall, they capture rainwater and are a distinctive aesthetic element in urban built-up areas. Standardised stonecrop mats with pre-grown turf were used for the installation, as they are densely grassed and have a great regenerative capacity. The plants can withstand temperature fluctuations and periods without major precipitation.
