Urban Heat Solutions: Trees vs. Cool Roofs for Cities
Subject
Research explores the effectiveness of urban trees and cool roofs in combating heat in cities. While trees offer natural cooling benefits and reduce air temperatures, cool roofs reflect sunlight to lower temperatures indoors. City-specific strategies can optimise cooling benefits, with examples from Boston and insights on implementing these solutions in different urban landscapes.
