The many developments around most metropolitan areas have created a man-made weather phenomenon known as micro-climate which tends to trap heat within these urban areas making them hotter than they used to be. The many buildings and spread of concrete and other structures disrupts natural airflow creating islands of heat and smog where pollution from our cars and other activities preventing heat from properly dissipating into the air trapping it beneath our concrete floors and parking lots. that is why we spend billions of dollars for cooling our urban dwellings so cooling it or maintaining the ambient temperature is of utmost importance. Adding more green zones where native plants and trees allows more heat to escape or be absorbed is a good idea and it also helps with the pollution problem to some extent.
New approaches to our construction methods that insulates it better from the environment allowing cooling/heating to become more effective also saves more power we demand thus lessening the impact of power generation on the environment. Green concrete that is porous enough to let rainwater and heat to escape are replacing the regular concrete we use to allow the soil to breathe lessening the heat island effect are also beginning to make an impact on new developments thus making our cities of the future greener and more environmentally friendly.
