Cooling Interventions
Eco-friendly solutions to reduce urban heat
Green Roofs
Incorporate vegetation on rooftops to absorb heat and provide insulation.
Water Features
Add fountains, ponds, or misting systems for evaporative cooling.
Urban Tree Canopy
Plant shade trees along streets and in public spaces to reduce surface temperatures.
Cool Materials
Replace dark surfaces with high-albedo materials that reflect rather than absorb heat.
Urban Ventilation Corridors
Design building layouts to channel cooling breezes through urban areas.
Reflective Pavements
Use light-colored or reflective materials for pavements to reduce heat absorption.
