Fractal dimension characterizing this regime is highly variable from one city to another, ranging from 0.49 for Paris to 1.35 for Frankfort. l =4096 m l =512 m l =256m l =32m l =16m l =1m Example of Paris Undifferen0ated roofs Green roofs Comparison between Berlin and Frankfort: - Conversely to Berlin, there was no incenJve program unJl recently in Frankfort. - Frankfort, where less green roofs are implemented, is characterized by the highest D f - The green roofs distribuJon is more homogeneous in Frankfort, which was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War This work was supported by the Academic Chair “Hydrology for Resilient CiJes”, a partnership between Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and the Veolia group, and the ANR EVNATURB project dealing with the evaluaJon of ecosystem performances for re-naturing urban environment (ANR-17-CE22-0002-01) Context and objec.ves Green roofs are currently widely implemented in urban environments, as they represent natural soluJons providing mulJple ecosystem services. For this purpose, ciJes implement incenJve policies to promote the implementaJon of green roofs. To be really efficient at large scale perform in a complex urban environment, a wide and appropriately spaJally distributed diffusion. To opJmize this layout, tradiJonal assessment tools, like densiJes, are not appropriate, as they do not take into account the relaJonship between different areas, i.e. across scales. Here we propose a mulJ-scale analysis based on fractal theory to provide informaJon for green roof implementaJon and assess the relevance of policies. Comparison between Paris, Amsterdam, London and Copenhangen characterized by low D f : - Paris has higher vegetalized roof surface and density values but the lowest D f value - Two main reasons: (i) some architectural issues (Hausmanian buildings), (ii) the absence of a global vision framing the implementaJon of the ambiJous vegetalizaJon plan - Some iniJaJves seem to have bemer results: (i) incenJve program (Amsterdam), (ii) official promoJon documents since 2010 (Copenhangen), applicaJon of a Green space factor to secure green cover (London) - High variability of the fractal dimension characterizing the 2 nd regime due to: (i) architectural history of the city, (ii) greening policies implemented in many urban areas - The more ambiJous incenJve measures (where monetary subsidies are proposed) correspond to the ciJes characterized by the highest fractal dimension. As these policies are relaJvely recent, they underline that an exisJng “greening culture” allow to bemer assimilate these policies - Fractal analysis can be seen as innovaJve mulJ-scale approach to asses green roofs implementaJon and their related ecosystem services through scales - ConJnue to collect green roofs data : your parJcipaJon is welcome !
