TOP SEC - Ecological green roofs bringing nature back to cities through metropolitan circularity and community engagement
Location
TOP SEC is set in four places across Barcelona’s densely populated metropolis, home to 3.3 million people in 36 municipalities: pilot tests and an office building roof in Barcelona’s Zona Franca; a school roof in Cornellà de Llobregat; an environmental facility roof in Sant Adrià de Besòs; and a residential building roof in Viladecans.
Urban authorities
The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) is the public administration of the metropolitan territory, with powers in areas such as social cohesion, urban planning, mobility, waste management, environment protection, social housing and economic promotion. As the Main Urban Authority, it coordinates the project’s technical, administrative and financial aspects, as well as its communication. It also oversees the implementation of 3 of the 4 rooftops and provides the organic waste digestate for creating biochar.
