“I visited a car-free neighborhood in AZ and was surprised that it felt 15 degrees cooler”

I recently got a tour of Culdesac, where I anticipated open street paths, shops, and amenities residents could walk to. And I found all of that. But I didn't expect to feel cooler on the block than on the surrounding streets. During my tour, I learned that Culdesac feels about 15 degrees colder than the city's temperature, thanks to initiatives by the housing startup during the building process.

I can't read it because of paywall, but the title could be misleading. She mentions initiatives in the plural form. There are other things you can do in city planning to make it feel cooler using wind, shade, different materials, different colors on exteriors, different roofs, underground structures, water, etc.

Could you post more?

Posting small excerpts from paywalled articles should be a bannable offense

Misleading title meant to think this had to do with global warming.
It doesnt. The city actually did some cool (no pun intended) things

Culdesac is a car-free neighborhood outside of Phoenix, Arizona, the hottest city in the US.
Culdesac was built to combat the summer temperatures reaching above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
The block was paved without asphalt, designed to maximize shade, and painted white to reflect heat.

I laugh at all the climate change liberals in Austin that have rock yards or Astro turf.

You can get a nice cloud to block the sun and have it feel 15 degrees cooler.

I think this is more about just not burning alive in the desert than it is saving the Earth
But yeah, what f@gs!

My god people
The reason these websites and news orgs make misleading titles is because they know our population is too stupid to read past the headline. It's amazing how well it works

Blacktop gets very hot. I can see how limiting that might reduce heat

I personally like the idea or these walkable cities. I think it'd be great ro be able to walk to the market, drug store, pubs and restaurants and other basic services like medical care. But I hate the idea of them being pushed as some sort of utopia that everyone needs to get on board with. If someone wants to live in the middle of nowhere and coal roll their jacked up F-250s up and down the highways all day long I don't give a shite.
