In some cities, urban planners are creating “pocket parks”, which are small public parks that are created in tiny spaces between buildings, like vacant lots. In the 1950s, urban planners began experimenting with the idea of “freeway caps”, which are structures that are built over highways to create a sort of bridge between the two sides of the city. Urban planners have started to use “green roofs”, which are roofs that are covered in soil and plants that can help reduce the urban heat island effect and help cool the city.
