🌿 Rooftop Green City Project
An Environmental Initiative by Youth Career and Development Hub (YCDH)
🌱 Overview
As urban areas continue to expand, cities like Rangpur are losing their natural greenery and facing severe environmental challenges — rising temperatures, air pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
To address this issue, Youth Career and Development Hub (YCDH) has launched the “Rooftop Green City Project”, a visionary initiative aimed at turning the unused rooftops of Rangpur into green, productive, and sustainable gardens.
This project is designed to make Rangpur a Cleaner, Cooler, and Greener City — one rooftop at a time.
🌿 Why This Project Matters
Most rooftops in Rangpur remain unused. If each rooftop becomes green, the environmental and social impact will be remarkable:
🌤️ Reduce City Heat – Plants absorb sunlight and lower rooftop temperatures.
🍃 Improve Air Quality – More greenery means cleaner and fresher air.
🥬 Grow Fresh Food – Households can produce organic vegetables and fruits.
💚 Enhance Mental Wellbeing – Green spaces reduce stress and improve happiness.
🌎 Combat Climate Change – Rooftop gardens contribute to carbon reduction and urban sustainability.
👥 Who Will Be Involved
The project is being implemented by:
✅ YCDH Youth Leaders
✅ University Student Interns
These passionate young individuals will conduct household surveys to identify interested homeowners, raise awareness about rooftop gardening, and assist in setting up eco-friendly rooftop gardens.
🏡 How It Works
Survey & Awareness – Youth Leaders and University Interns visit homes to discuss rooftop gardening possibilities.
Technical Guidance – YCDH provides basic training on rooftop garden setup, watering systems, and plant selection.
Community Engagement – Interested homeowners become part of the “Green Roof Network.”
Implementation & Support – Gardens are established with expert guidance and ongoing assistance.
Recognition – Each year, YCDH honors the Best Green Roof and Greenest Community to inspire others.
🌿 Partnership with ESDO
To strengthen environmental awareness, YCDH has partnered with ESDO (Environment and Social Development Organization).
During the survey, participants will distribute awareness leaflets and stickers co-branded with both ESDO and YCDH logos — helping spread the message of sustainable living to every household in Rangpur.
