Phoenix finally got some monsoon relief yesterday. But yes, for the city to remain habitable, they have to really rethink urban design and heat retention.

They have had an effort to try and reduce water consumption by getting rid of lawns and higher intensity water usage like golf courses, but golf is one of the reasons that people have moved to the goddamned desert that is reverting to the mean on water availability.

There’s not enough water to go around. How do you address heat islands and heat retention? Well, you need designs that incorporate more heat dispersing elements.
