Why does walking feel so intuitive when we’re in a city built before cars, yet as soon as we return home, walking feels like an unpleasant chore that immediately drives us into a car?
I have seen usage of mist spray in France a bit. Like f.e. inside the Marseille St Charles train station or in Strasbourg on the space in front of the train station. I think it’s real nice.
I am also real thankful that the EU made a directive to get its members to offer drinking water in public spaces. That used to be so bad here in Germany, there was hardly any publicly accessible drinking water, but they are actually on their way now to slowly add drinking water fountains in the cities.
One thing that I am thinking that the article doesn’t really touch on, is how clothing will need to adapt to a warming world.
Ideally, we would line sidewalks with trees for shade, or build canopies. With public drinking fountains along the way.
But there are some places so hot that adding misting sprays would benefit walkers. Every 100 yards or so, have mist sprayers to cool people down.
That would require society to adapt what is acceptable to wear in formal, or upscale, or professional situations.
Pasties and g-strings: the new business casual.
