Take Action for Excess Urban Heat Mitigation
Communities across the U.S. are facing record-breaking heat, threatening public health, safety, and quality of life. The Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act, introduced by Senator Ruben Gallego (AZ), would bring proven, nature-based solutions — like shade trees, green roofs, and porous surfaces — to neighborhoods nationwide.

“Extreme heat is a growing public health emergency that kills more Americans every year than any other weather-related causes—and breaks down American infrastructure. Senator Ruben Gallego’s Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act offers a smart, scalable response by supporting proven landscape-based strategies like tree planting, bus and transit shelters, and park development. The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) strongly supports this legislation, which affirms the vital role of landscape architects in building healthier, cooler, and fairer communities through design that works with nature,” said ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen.
