Chicago green roofing started with the City Hall building. A rooftop garden on top of City Hall really drew attention to the whole notion of Green Roofing in Chicago. While not every environmentally friendly design has to go as far as incorporating a rooftop garden, sustainable and green roofing in Chicago has really taken off.
