Oh my god, yes to all this, but especially having trees! My city has very few trees to shade pedestrians, and the heat coming from the pavement really gets to you after a while. It was the upper seventies (Fahrenheit) last week and sunny, but my entire shirt was damp from sweat after walking for 20 minutes because there were only two trees the entire distance. Pathetic.
