Canada: Concordia study finds park design affects cooling differently by day and night | EurekAlert!

Concordia researchers studied 13 Montreal parks and found tree layout shapes cooling differently over a day. Dense tree clusters provide shade and lower daytime temperatures, but can trap heat at night, while open grass cools faster after sunset. The findings highlight the need for balanced park designs to improve comfort during heat waves.
