Heat is actually surprisingly easy to moderate with green spaces, water, shade, and wind.

Unfortunately, roads, roofs, and buildings fuck that all up.

Plant trees along every road. Line every building roof with greenery. Water that greenery, and centrally control how it’s watered to create temperature/humidity differentials and thus wind throughout the entire city.

I wouldn’t say it’s surprisingly easy. It’s possible, but it comes with substantial costs. Paris is throwing a ton of money at some of the solutions you’ve mentioned and the results are meager at best. Hopefully they’ll improve as time goes on.
