Palma’s plan to tackle heat in dense districts

Short-term steps include mobile shade sails over schools and bus stops, more drinking fountains, and shade islands. Regular temperature checks at critical points and prioritising routes for vulnerable groups are also suggested. Medium-term measures include replacement plantings under clear rules, selecting heat- and drought-resistant native species, permeable paving, and four years of watering plans. Long-term goals involve an integrated urban greening concept with green corridors, green roofs, street tree statutes, and binding replacement deadlines.
