Rooftops are abundant

July 6th, 2010

What can you do with rooftops?

Some people are taking a stab at putting gardens on city rooftops (awesome idea!)

But what about suburbia?

My first thought is, create a business that acquires the license to use a rooftop, acquire as many as possible.

Then use this real estate you have effectively leased for many things, maybe solar generation? (then in effect you have your own power generation company). ย Advertising?!? Water collection (which you then sell on). ย The list goes on.

What would you do?

    Suburban rooftops can grow produce too with a bit of ingenuity: http://nowincolour.com/2010/06/roof-garden/

    Solar power and water capture are great ideas too. There’s a lot of untapped potential up there.
