- Desperate for shade on your walk? There’s (almost) an app for that.
A new tool called Cool Routes, developed by Arizona State University, helps pedestrians find cooler, shadier walking paths in cities by calculating heat exposure using factors like shade and weather data. The tool aims to address the urban heat island effect, which makes walking in cities dangerously hot, and is open-sourced for broader use.
