Cities that can be walked in August

Shade is infrastructure. A short argument for treating it as such in Central Asian masterplanning.

VOLUM

Shade is infrastructure. It should be planned, costed and maintained like drainage. In practice it is treated as landscape decoration, added last and cut first.
