    Bit of a rant but the situation in cities is tremendous, i live in rome and in this time of year temperatures regularly reach 30c, if I go in the countryside they get cooler by about 10c, all because of bad urbanistics propped up by lobbying and more generally capitalism

      It’s highly problematic when you have bodies that can’t transmit their heat because everything in their surrounding is at the same temperature. Last year I was amazed how the heat from the street was on the verge of melting my cheap shoes.

      People laugh but I think cooling/heating shelters in the urban and retiree homes are unavoidable in the immediate future. Well, the alternative is to let the heat play the role of the grim reaper.
