The heat island effect is also a strong issue for cities as these deserts of concrete retain so much heat. Medellín is a great example of climate adaptation with its green corridors that allowed the city to cool down on average by a staggering 2 degrees Celsius. On this front, however, I am not sure financial incentives are a solution where public investment in green infrastructure is more needed. Even the market is reacting to climate change as I have seen real estate developers using temperature heatmaps of the city to buy buildings around parks in Zürich because they were coolers in Summer.
