The six dimensions
The roofs above Kahlenberg Umgebung
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 0 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 37 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 300 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 31 out of 100.
The radius is a fixed reference area, not a neighbourhood boundary, and the circles of adjacent neighbourhoods overlap — so these figures cannot be added up. Whether any of these roofs is already green is unknown to a geometry model; whether it carries the build-up is for a structural engineer to say. Geometry as of 2016. All districts compared →
