Across the US, cities combine art, shade and education to help people beat the heat Updated 4 mins ago Cities across the U.S. are combining art with shade to shield people from rising temperatures and educate them about our warming world. In the sizzling city of Phoenix, nine artists created sculptures to bring shade and cooler temperatures to parks, and an advanced mobile weather station is measuring how much they are reducing heat. In Los Angeles, an art show celebrates shade in a warming world while highlighting unequal access to it. And in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a project titled “Shade is Social Justice” is bringing together artists and designers to boost the city's climate resiliency with public art.
