A Optimal integrated solution to maximize reductions in vulnerability-weighted population excess heat exposure constrained by a budget of $34,080,037 overlaid on the vulnerability weighted excess heat exposure index (red) in Boston, MA, where green symbols represent tree canopy expansion and blue symbols represent cool roof implementation. B Optimal integrated solution for a high impact region in East Boston. C Mean estimated air temperature reduction (°C) across all hours in JJA associated with the constrained, integrated solution, where darker colors represent a stronger cooling effect.
