Free guide: the 10 principles behind every great city: https://the-aesthetic-city.kit.com/4740b9cd4b Join the Academy (price increases Aug 15): https://theaestheticcity.com/complete-course/ --- This summer's heatwaves turned modern cities into ovens, and while everyone scrambles for air-conditioning, the real fix has been sitting in front of us for thousands of years. In this video we break down the science of why cities overheat, from thermal mass and urban canyons to the plant "sweating" that keeps parks cool, then look at how ancient ideas like Persian paradise gardens and passive design are being revived in stunning places like Le Plessis-Robinson and Utrecht, cities that beat the heat and became more beautiful doing it. —— 🎙️ Listen to our podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4cU3tcGKXiziKGuvfd3KIa?si=32da1b2ed8f44d79 𝕏 Follow us on X:https://x.com/_Aesthetic_City 🗣️ Join our community on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/wQ7zPKUTC2 💻 Visit our website: https://theaestheticcity.com ========== ©️ Attribution & copyright info: Victor van Werkhooven, CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, via Wikimedia Commons Ellywa at Dutch Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, via Wikimedia Commons Victor van Werkhooven, CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, via Wikimedia Commons W.
