#coolcities
I used to think cooling cities meant more ACs and more trees.

Then I saw a 3D model of a neighborhood in Ohio.

The surprise? Where trees cast shade mattered as much as how many trees there were.

🌳 Shade is infrastructure.

Cities can be dramatically cooler—by as much as 18°C—thanks to vibrant greenery! Combining trees with shrubs and ground cover creates the most effective, refreshing urban spaces. 🌳✨ #CoolCities #UrbanGreening #GreenLiving
🌼 Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C. Layered vegetation—where trees are combined with shrubs and ground cover—often works more effectively than trees alone. Field measurements show local climate and street design strongly shape whether greening works well. 🌳

Inside perspective at MFO Park, in Zurich-Oerlikon. The concept of "volume" was a central element of the park's design, in honouring the history of the space and its new public function. Very 3-dimensional! #greenfacade #livingwalls #urbanecology #coolcities #climbers #plants #waterharvest
