Busy streets have a warming effect due to the heat output from motor transport
(see the bottom Fig.). Still water basins have no cooling effect: (Figs. 14.27, 14.28,
14.29, 14.30 and 14.31)
As mentioned above the block structure offers better day time conditions than the
loose urban structure. However further research should explore the cooling effect of
the parks during the night time.
