When Erna Akuginow and Geoff Haines-Stiles bought a six-acre property in Tinicum Township, Pennsylvania, in 2017, the lot came with a stone farmhouse dating to about 1780 and a rundown barn bearing reminders of its past animal inhabitants.

The coolest blocks in Allentown are not a matter of luck

Taryn Johnson is a graduate student in the Environmental Policy Master's Program at Lehigh University. The coolest blocks in Allentown are not a matter of luck. In the hot summer months, surfaces in parts of Allentown can reach over 100 degrees. However, across town, where there is more tree cover, it is noticeably cooler, with differences up to 11.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The difference is not based on luck, but the legacy of choices about where trees are planted, and where they are not.
