The study highlights critical risks in urban heat management, particularly for vulnerable populations exposed to extreme temperatures. While satellite maps help identify heat hotspots, reliance on these tools can lead to maladaptive solutions, such as reflective pavements that increase pedestrian heat stress. Additionally, dense tree canopies, while effective for daytime cooling, may trap heat at night, exacerbating nighttime heat islands. These challenges are particularly significant in semi-arid regions like Tucson, where diurnal temperature swings can exceed 54.4°C (98°F). Without nuanced planning, cities risk deploying interventions that worsen thermal exposure for residents.
