Description

There's no doubt about it: cities are highly mineralized, and therefore sparsely planted. The consequence? They absorb more heat than the surrounding countryside, creating "urban heat islands". But there are ways to avoid them, and make our cities more pleasant to live in when temperatures rise. Here are some examples in this latest episode.
