The cooling
effect of green
areas is well
known
Green infrastructure – i.e. vegetation incorporated into urban
environments (trees, green roofs, parks ...) – provides a cooling
effect that can mitigate the UHI (urban heat island) effect. A
study found that trees in over 600 European cities can lower
temperatures by an average of 1.1°C and up to 2.9°C.
