Abstract
The urban environment has severe problems with water scarcity and environmental sustainability. This study suggests an integrated approach that smoothly incorporates urban agriculture by mixing constructed wetlands with green roofs. This design supports rooftop gardening with treated wetlands water, creating a closed-loop system that simultaneously addresses several urban concerns. Rooftop agriculture is made feasible by the structural components of the design, such as planter boxes and load-bearing capacity calculations. To enhance space efficiency and promote a sustainable urban agricultural model, diverse vegetation and optimum design are employed. Constructed wetlands are easily incorporated into the water management system, providing drip irrigation with nutrient-rich water while maximizing resource efficiency and reducing water waste. Cities is working toward sustainable urban growth, and the combination of constructed wetlands, urban agriculture, and green roofs offers a flexible and viable way to achieve this goal. This model's success depends on its careful application in the local environment, continued community involvement, and a dedication to continuously improving the integrated green infrastructure. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
