The Atlas · from planet to street

The world's heat, then your street's.

Zoom from the planet down to the pavement. Inside a city, heat and green are the same map, inverted — and that mirror is the lever: greening the barest ground cools it, measurably.

the mirror

Same map, inverted

The hot cells and the bare cells are the same cells. Across these cities the two grids correlate at r ≈ −0.8 — heat is where green isn't.

Cooling you can plant

The slope of that mirror says how much each unit of green cools the ground. It turns "plant trees" into a number a city can budget.
