  • The document examines how the High Line's vegetation helps alleviate urban heat islands (UHIs), which are areas of elevated heat caused by population density and the built environment. It notes that while human-caused climate change warms the planet, urban infrastructure amplifies average and extreme temperatures, disproportionately affecting underserved populations. The report focuses on the role of trees and plants in urban spaces as a solution to these heat-related health and quality-of-life threats.
