Abstract :
    Residential complexes are the subject of discussion and research, the psychological effect of the green roof on the mental soul of the residents: Much of the architecture should include experimental findings on the psychological and social effects of buildings on its occupants. Among these, tall residential buildings are highly controversial. This paper summarizes the results of research on the psychological effects of green roofs on residents, satisfaction, social behavior, crime, fear, children, mental health. It intends to put different results together and make the necessary predictions to Avoid the negative effects of high-rise buildings so that they can be considered for design. Although the effects of high-rise buildings on individuals are obvious, it is also important to note whether the presence of green space in urban or residential complexes can have a significant impact on the human psyche. Therefore, the importance of green roofs is multiplied. With the right design, a big step can be taken to solve this big problem. In this article, we try to define the challenges of long residential complexes and offer suggestions to solve these problems. Green roofs or roof gardens have emerged as a good solution for reconciling with nature and changing the urban landscape. In fact, the green roof is the use of unused and lifeless spaces of urban buildings to create green spots. In addition to the aesthetic aspect of the city, this will soften the air and reduce air pollution, and ultimately improve the environment and urban landscape of the city s residents.
