    A smart roof can solve many of Bangalore's problems by growing rice using treated greywater, harnessing sunlight, turning sewage into nutrients, and composting biodegradables. It provides food and water security by growing crops, treats wastewater, keeps houses cool for energy security, and creates ecological spaces to help wildlife by turning rooftops from heat sinks into productive green areas. The document advocates for using rooftops in Bangalore as smart roofs rather than leaving them as undesigned sterile spaces.
