Chicago City Hall's rooftop garden was planted in 2000 as part of the city's Urban Heat Island Initiative, which tests the effects of green roofs on urban air quality and temperature. Rooftop plants reflect heat (unlike standard black-tar roofs), filter the air, absorb rainwater, provide shade, and coll the air around them by secreting tiny water droplets through pores in their leaves.
