Abstract

Environmental protection in urban areas has already become one of the core issues of city building. Rooftop gardens presented a potential solution to these problems, providing ecological and social benefits. This essay aims to analyze the impact and management of rooftop gardens. Rooftop gardens are not always a suitable green engineering solution; there are different challenges to implementing rooftop gardens. These challenges include the cost of building and maintenance, the lack of support from the public, and policy. The SWOT analysis method is used in analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a rooftop garden. The combination of four aspects from SWOT can yield different strategies that suggest some advice for the future development of a rooftop garden. There are four strategies concluded by a combination of SWOT factors, including expansionary strategy (strengths and opportunities), reverse strategy (weaknesses and opportunities), diversification strategy (strengths and threats), and defensive strategy (weaknesses and threats).
