In our last class, we looked at how climate change is presenting challenges for cities across the globe. Today we will focus on what city planners are doing to deal with extreme heat in cities. To reduce temperatures, urban designers are adding “passive cooling” elements. This means designing and redeveloping greenery, streets, and buildings in specific ways to reduce heat in the city.
Greenery, or “green coverage,” includes parks, gardens, trees, and other types of vegetation that provide shade. A study conducted in Melbourne, Australia, suggests a 10 percent increase in green coverage could reduce daytime temperatures by 1 degree Celsius. Other advantages are better psychological health for residents and a richer variety of wildlife.
The layout of streets can play an important role in passive cooling. By placing streets in line with local wind patterns, air can flow easily through a city, lowering the temperature. One study shows that tropical cities like Singapore could benefit from having streets arranged so that ocean winds move through them, cooling the city off. Additionally, good wind flow decreases air pollution, improving residents’ health.
Building design can also affect city temperatures. Many studies recommend the use of buildings of various heights. High−rise buildings create shade and low−rise buildings allow wind to blow hot air away. In tropical cities near the ocean, like Manila in the Philippines, low−rise buildings should be built near the shore so breezes reach the inside of the city. As an added benefit, buildings of various sizes make the city visually attractive.
These are some ways that good use of urban design can help cool our cities and make them better places to live.

空所は、Passive cooling design(受動冷却設計)が何か、を選ぶ問題です。
受動冷却について述べている箇所は
To reduce temperatures, urban designers are adding “passive cooling” elements. This means designing and redeveloping greenery, streets, and buildings in specific ways to reduce heat in the city.
(気温を下げるために、都会の設計士達は、『受動冷却』の要素を追加している。これは、都市の暑さを軽減するための特殊な方法で、緑、道、そして建物を設計し再開発することを意味している。)
です。
この内容に適するものを選びます。
「涼しい建物や道を開発することにより、エネルギーを節約するための努力」
エネルギー節約が目的ではなく、都市の暑さの軽減が目的です。
「新しいタイプの建物の温度調整システム」
建物だけでなく、都市の暑さ軽減ためのものです。
「極端な暑さを避けるための交通技術の設計」
交通機関の暑さのことではありません。
正解「気温を下げることを計画している都市と自然の使用」
「受動冷却設計」緑などを再開発することで、都市の気温を下げようとするものであり、一致します。
