Even if the city is flat as fuck you'll still arrive sweaty if the climate is hot. Take Phoenix for example, you will sweat even if you are in the shade and doing no physical exercise because it's commonly 46 degrees.

    Phoenix is not a great example of how we should design cities. Putting a city in a desert is a bad idea from the outset.

    The desert is the only reason it is habitable, if it were less arid the humidity would make it even worse. The largest desert on earth is Antarctica, deserts don't have to be hot, just low precipitation.

    But what deserts do very well is solar potential due to lack of cloud cover and I don't know why we can't use solar to power electric rail for public transportation.
