One of the key measures to fight urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is by increasing the use of
green approaches including green technologies and vegetation. However, there is a shortage of
available space for establishing greening elements due to high density of urban development and
high cost of urban land. By using green roofs, the hottest spots of a city can be mitigated. Further
advantages of green roofs include mitigating air pollution, improving management of run-off water,
improving public health and enhancing the aesthetic value of the urban environment. This paper
reviewed, analyzed, and discussed previous literature on green roofs and their role in alleviating
UHI. Previous researches acknowledged the ability of green roofs in UHI mitigation. This paper
recommends using green roofs as a main strategy for decreasing the harmful impacts of UHI
especially the high air temperatures as well as their ability to add to the greening of cities.
