“Why will adding more grassy space to sidewalks make cities more heat resilient?”
During heat waves, concrete becomes hot and makes cities less walkable and more unpleasant to stay in. But how can we use our problem-solving skills to change this? Well, we know that vegetation is able to do well in hot weather and not be too hot to touch. So what if we were to put in more grassy areas to sidewalks? That way, people can step on it during heatwaves and heat can be absorbed. This is a prime solution and is Why Adding More Grassy Space to Sidewalks Will Make Cities More Heat Resilient.
