Nach monatelanger Entwicklung gibt es keinerlei Vorkehrungen für Schatten. Keine Bäume gepflanzt. Reiner Beton und Teer zur Erhöhung der Hitze. Oder übersehe ich etwas?

Typical thing, unfortunately. Chasing money, forgetting about people.
Eleftheria square is very close, just sit there, lots of shade (assuming you go at night)
God forbid they plant a tree but sure let’s waste 50000x the amount of money for some useless ugly ass concrete slab.
Pave everything with asphalt. Block every passage with parked cars. If there are benches, place trash carts right next to them so the smell makes it unpleasant to stay. Provide no shade. Then wonder why no one wants to walk and everyone chooses to drive instead.
And somehow, the municipality is still surprised that people prefer using their cars over walking.
Palm tree is such a lazy urban planning choice, it is not even native to Cyprus and is completely useless.
Where is this ?
Honestly so glad to hear someone share the same grievance. It’s actually depressing to not be able to walk outside especially with pets
no tea
If you think Nicosia is bad in this regard, come and marvel at the wonders of the grand city of Limassol. Nicosia will feel like paradise.
Solar panels is a great source of shade. And they can drive fans (or even A/C for bus stops).
Am I too ambitious?
This dirt patches on the left are for trees. I can see the the water provision from this photo
Why do you guys hate trees so much? If ever there was a place that needed trees, it’s hot Cyprus. But no, you’d rather cut them down. Why is that?
Joni Michelle wrote a song about it years ago. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2595abcvh2M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2595abcvh2M)

Cyprus is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. But the leaders of the country are so greedy and short-sighted that they would rather kill the goose that lays the golden eggs as the saying goes.
Lots of trees planted throughout the renovated streets in Nicosia. Look at Stasikratous as an excellent example.
There’s zero space for anything new on this side and the palm trees are not great for shade. There is some space across the road that’s been left unpaved. Maybe they will plant something.
It’s baffling how many people irrationally view trees as a source of clutter rather than an asset. One of our neighbours killed one of our trees because it was messy.
That scaffold netting is the most shade that building will have.
So called urban planning
