Public Transit & Shade

At the ‘Global URBAN HEAT Media Lab’ project we have a group forming amongst network participants to plan a visual study of public transit & shade across cities.

With network participants participating from Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Ahmedabad (India), London (UK), New York City (USA), Tehran (Iran), Szczecin (Poland) – and likely more to come- I look forward to a very interesting overview not only of shade at different public transit stations in cities worldwide but also exploring what thermal refuge means in the local context.

What does shade at public transit stations in your community look like?

I recently snapped these photos of a couple of stations in the city of Szczecin, Poland.
