Asphalt vs. Nature: Why our cities feel like ovens during summer, and how easily we could fix it.
For context, here is the quick temperature conversion for those who use Fahrenheit:
☀️ No trees / Hot street:
• Car hood: 61.1°C ➔ 142°F
• Sidewalk/Wall: 48.0°C ➔ 118.4°F
• Asphalt road: 44.6°C ➔ 112.3°F
• Air/Building wall: 37.3°C ➔ 99.1°F
🌳 Tree-shaded street:
• Cobblestone road: 22.8°C ➔ 73°F
• Shaded car: 26.7°C ➔ 80°F
• Shaded grass/wall: 26.2°C ➔ 79.1°F
It’s crazy how planting trees isn't just an aesthetic choice, but literally a survival necessity for modern cities.
