From wealthy corporations to some of the city's poorest neighborhoods, rooftop gardening and green spaces are a small but growing trend in Cairo, Egypt. Not just for aesthetics, green spaces also contribute to significantly cooling the buildings and surrounding areas, absorb pollution and carbon dioxide and are an effective climate change mitigation measure. This Cairo Climate Talks original film takes us from the basics of rooftop gardening by Schaduf to the challenges and stigmas that residents like Leila Hassan of Ezbet el Nasr are facing in growing vegetables and herbs on their roofs to supplement their incomes.
