Some new lomg bus shelters erected locally, with flat living roofs.
Too high to see properly, but foliage seems to be a dense mono culture. Obviously survived frosts recently and presumably able to survive
drought unless someone is detailed to bowser. What sort of plants could
they be, not sempervivium or grass

Sedum looks likely, perhaps not monoculture, just those stemmed leaves
high enough to view the tops of, with camera held high some other part
leaves just showing.

Selfie sticks are reasonably cheap and can double as raised camera devices.

If you really want a picture of the roof.
