GREEN ROOFS AS A RESPONSE TO URBAN CONCRETE
Faced with rapid urbanization and the associated loss of green spaces, cities are seeking innovative solutions that will increase the presence of vegetation in urban spaces. "Green roofs are one such solution that combines the functionality of public infrastructure with ecological, aesthetic, and social benefits.
These roofs consist of several layers: a waterproofing membrane, a protective layer, a soil substrate, and plants (e.g., succulents, mosses, grasses).
The Problem of Green Space Deficit in Cities
Intensive urban development is reducing the availability of natural green spaces such as parks and squares.
Urban Heat Island Effect:
Concrete and asphalt surfaces heat up faster than green spaces, leading to rising temperatures in cities.
Air Quality:
The lack of sufficient vegetation reduces the natural ability of cities to filter air pollutants.

Benefits of "green" roofs
Ecological
a) Improved air quality:
Rooftop plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM), reducing air pollution. Increased oxygen production in densely built-up urban areas.

b) Stormwater retention:
Green roofs retain rainwater, reducing the load on municipal sewage systems
during heavy rainfall.

c) Biodiversity:
Creating habitats for insects such as bees, butterflies, and ladybugs, which are crucial to the urban ecosystem.
Climatic

a) Reduction of the urban heat island effect:
Green roofs lower ambient temperatures through the process of transpiration (evaporation of water from plants).

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF GREEN ROOF INSTALLATION
Vegetation
a) Species resistant to extreme conditions:
Succulents (e.g., sedum), mosses, and grasses that are resistant to drought and temperature fluctuations.

b) Ease of care:
Plants require minimal maintenance, reducing maintenance costs.
Construction

a) Lightweight and durable:
Roofs must be adequately reinforced to support the weight of the substrate and plants while remaining lightweight.

b) Irrigation systems:
Built-in irrigation systems that automatically supply water to plants during periods of drought.

SYSTEM MODULARITY (SBB AND BS)
SBB modular bicycle shelters are a solution that enables the flexible design, adaptation, and development of bicycle infrastructure in urban spaces. Thanks to their construction comprising repeatable modules, these bus shelters and bicycle shelters offer many benefits for both users and city administrators.
The modular design allows for installation on various-sized plots, road lanes, and even in difficult-to-access locations, such as narrow sidewalks or roadside bays. The vertical arrangement of bicycle storage inside the boxes minimizes the footprint of such a shelter, which is important in city centers. Modules can be added or removed depending on changing demand, for example, in areas with a growing number of cyclists thanks to the use of external modules (operational and advertising), as well as internal modules designed for bicycle storage. Modular shelters can be easily dismantled and moved to another location if the needs of users change.

EXPANDABILITY – SAVING TIME AND COST
As the number of cyclists increases, shelters can be gradually expanded without the need for a complete infrastructure replacement. Modular construction allows for gradual investment, reducing the one-time costs of large projects. Simple modular structures shorten installation time and lower labor costs. Installing modules requires less time and disruption to public spaces compared to traditional structures. Modular shelters use repetitive components, which lowers production costs and allows for faster replacement of missing parts.

EASY MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
Replacing damaged modules is very simple and quick. Damaged components can be easily replaced without disassembling the entire structure. Standardized components and easy access to individual parts enable quick repairs and minimize downtime.

VERSATILITY
Replacing damaged modules is very simple and quick. Damaged components can be easily replaced.
Modules can be equipped with various features, such as e-bike charging stations, LED lighting,
monitoring, or advertising space. Integration with mobile apps, reservation systems, and other Smart City solutions is possible.

AESTHETICS AND DESIGN
Modules with a unified style can be adapted to the city's aesthetic, creating harmonious public spaces. They can be equipped with green roofs, photovoltaic panels, or water retention systems, supporting sustainable urban development.

POSSIBILITY OF CUSTOMIZING SHELTER ELEMENTS
Shelters can be branded with the logo of the city, companies, schools, or institutions supporting the project.
Modular bicycle shelters are a universal, flexible, and economical solution that perfectly fits the needs of modern cities. Thanks to their scalability, easy installation, and integration with smart city technologies, these shelters can support the development of sustainable transport, improve the quality of life of residents, and contribute to environmental protection.

SECURITY SYSTEMS
Locked bicycle shelters in the city center are a modern solution that combines advanced safety technologies, functionality, and aesthetics.
