I wish more cities would break open the pavement and plant more trees. It is notably cooler under the tree in my yard than under a parasol.
Even in my neighborhood there’s tons of front yard/driveways which are fully cemented. If people would only break it open and plant something. :(
All this concrete just absorbs all the heat and keeps radiating it when it finally cools down. A bit of green in cities would do wonders ( and not just a green patch in a sea of concrete )…
Definitely! San Francisco has a program where they cut into concrete to create more space. Wish more cities were willing to be that radical.
Personally I have far higher ambitions than that… but it’s certainly a start!
