With the growth is an influx in the building of homes, businesses, and roads. This growth has caused the area to become more of a concrete jungle opposed to the historical vegetative lake bed, it used to be. These hard surfaces and building production have negatively affected the energy consumption, runoff coefficient, and temperatures within the city, all of which have the potential to rise further yet. To prevent future and combat existing pollution and runoff, roof infrastructure will be researched through quantitative research and case studies to see differences in city buildings with and without roof infrastructure implemented.NDSU policy 190.6.2https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/190.pdfThesis
