These "urban heat islands" can creep underground as city heat diffuses downward, and basements, subway tunnels and other subterranean infrastructure also constantly radiate warmth into the surrounding earth. Because materials expand and contract with temperature changes, Rotta Loria suspected that heat seeping from basements and tunnels could be contributing to wear and tear on various structures. CITY STREETS, SIDEWALKS and roofs all absorb heat, making some urban zones up to six degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day - and 22 degrees F hotter at night.

The MTA is facing challenges in keeping subway riders cool during hot summers due to climate change. Commuters have reported uncomfortable and unsafe conditions, with temperatures reaching as high as 98 degrees in subway cars and 95 degrees in stations. The MTA has implemented cooling technologies in select stations, but many commuters still experience gaps in the cooling system. Heat exposure can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as older adults and those with chronic health conditions. The MTA is exploring cooling technologies for subway platforms but faces financial challenges due to a funding shortfall. Advocacy groups are calling for the reinstatement of congestion pricing to support climate resiliency efforts. Remodeling older stations with cooling technologies and selling excess thermal energy are potential solutions, but more funding is needed for maintenance and new station construction.

The article reports on the development of technologies to capture and reclaim waste heat from cities. It is noted that cogeneration power plants are used to convert waste heat into steam or hot water for building heating and water systems. Particular focus is given to technologies for the capture of waste heat from buildings and vehicles, such as ground source heat pumps. Underground heat grids could be created in a city using waste heat pumps and distribution pipe networks. Other topics include the collection of heat in subway train tunnels in Germany, extraction of heat from tepid raw sewage flow in Oslo, Norway and Vancouver, Canada, the use of waste heat to power heating and cooling systems in Helsinki, Finland.

You think you know what you're going to see with a New York theme, but with a collection as deep as the Smithsonian's it's easy to have your mind changed", Mann says.
