Concrete, asphalt and dark roofs absorb solar energy during the day and release it slowly after sunset. At the\nsame time, dense construction can restrict air movement, while limited vegetation reduces the cooling produced by\nshade and evapotranspiration. The result is not merely uncomfortable weather. Prolonged heat raises electricity\ndemand, worsens air pollution and increases health risks, especially for older people, outdoor workers and families\nwithout reliable access to cooling.\nUrban planners are testing several ways to mitigate this effect. Planting street trees can lower surface temperatures\nand make walking routes safer. Green roofs add vegetation to buildings, while reflective roofs send a larger share of\nsunlight back into the atmosphere instead of storing it as heat. Permeable pavements can also help by allowing\nrainwater to enter the ground, where gradual evaporation provides additional cooling.\nNo single measure, however, works equally well everywhere. Trees need water and maintenance, and their roots\nmay damage poorly planned pavements. Highly reflective materials can create glare if selected without considering\nsurrounding buildings. In colder regions, they may also reduce a small amount of useful winter heat gain. For this\nreason, specialists recommend neighbourhood-level planning rather than applying one solution across an entire city.\nEquity is another concern. Low-income neighbourhoods often have fewer trees, more exposed surfaces and less\naccess to air-conditioned public spaces. Directing investment only towards commercial districts may therefore widen\nexisting inequalities. Cities that map heat exposure, consult residents and combine physical improvements with\npublic-health measures are more likely to protect vulnerable communities.\nThe evidence suggests that urban heat can be reduced, but only through coordinated and locally appropriate action.\nReflective surfaces, vegetation, water-sensitive design and emergency planning should be treated as complementary\ntools rather than competing alternatives.\n\n<div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\">\n  <p>1.
