I think it's kind of silly, stupid, and a waste of city's resources...money, mostly. Who is going to get up there and tend that tiny green space forever so it doesn't wilt in this heat or die in the winter, etc?

Lots of open surface lots in this city that could be turned into green spaces. Something larger and by a private company, such as the green roof on the PECO building, that's something nice to have. This, OTOH, not so much.

It's an extensive green roof so it shouldn't really need much maintenance. Of course, it doesn't absorb that much water. But the point of small projects like this is really PR for the greater PWD program and not to make a big difference. So, insofar as it does that it's a fine idea.
