Veggoverflater is a term used in urban design and ecology to describe vegetated overlays applied to existing surfaces in built environments. These overlays integrate plant life into structures and pave the way for greenery on rooftops, façades, walls, and other horizontal or vertical surfaces through substrate, drainage, and irrigation systems.
Common forms include green roofs, which add a soil layer and planting on rooftops; living walls, where
Design and implementation factors center on structural capacity, substrate depth and composition, plant selection (favoring drought-tolerant
Benefits commonly cited include improved thermal performance, stormwater management, enhanced biodiversity, air quality benefits, and aesthetic
Veggoverflater are associated with green-building, climate-adaptive design, and biophilic planning, reflecting an approach that treats urban
