In Tempe, Arizona, Culdesac is reimagining US cities for people, not cars – and inviting travellers to explore its plazas, paseos and Mediterranean-inspired design.

    The article states that the smaller alleyways create breezes and since they’re more tightly packed it’s shaded almost all the time. Ends up being cooler.

      Yeah. A shocking 30-40°F cooler. So it would be a slightly warm 80°F.

        That’s insufferable by European standards but heaven by Arizona standards.

        Which in Tempe is basically a miracle.
