This photograph illustrates the contrast in temperature between areas with and without urban tree cover. On the left, a treeless street shows an air temperature of 40°C, with the asphalt reaching 46°C. On the right, a tree-lined street experiences a much cooler environment, with the air at 32°C and the ground temperature at 34°C. The trees provide shade that prevents the surface from overheating, creating a noticeably cooler atmosphere. In addition to cooling, trees help reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and promote healthier living spaces. Urban green spaces not only lower temperatures but also enhance biodiversity and offer a more comfortable environment for people. Prioritizing the incorporation of trees into urban planning is essential for developing sustainable and livable cities.
