[Greenbuilding] rooftop or apartment gardening

[JOHN SALMEN]

Growing crops intensively in indoor urban environments is one of British
Columbia's biggest economies. Unfortunately it is not a food crop and has
not been exactly house friendly. A friend just had to renovate a rental
house that was used as a grow op and the destruction was amazing. 

 

As a result of the scale of this 'industry' the technology and knowledgebase
is pretty advanced and there is probably an 'example' just down the street.

One of my students wants to design a system for gardening in urban
environments.  Can anyone link me to any existing examples? His idea is to
use as little space as possible.
