I realize this is a desert city and water is scarce and expensive, but the lack of shade in such a hot city blows me away.
This project is an example of what I'm talking about. Yes, the structure provides some shade and adds some great aesthetic diversity, but that's about it. The trees are the size of small bushes, and the rest is rock and arid-friendly plants. Typical for a desert city, but it is not pedestrian friendly. Maybe it's just me, but I think some additional thought on shaded public areas in Phoenix is much needed. Thoughts?
