As Boston thaws out from recent snowstorms, we are dreaming of summer only 3 months away! Today, the B-COOL temperature sensor partnership released the Shade Effect report, sharing recent research on the efficacy of permanent, semi-permanent, and pop-up shade interventions on providing heat relief to vulnerable populations in Boston. Check out our findings and start planning for summer shade! 😎 🌳
Thank you to our partners: Boston University School of Public Health, The Boston Foundation, the City of Boston and many more community partners Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, Turner Construction Company, and Zoo New England), without whom this work would not be possible.
