The text discusses urban development and how other European cities manage climate control devices. It contrasts the situation in Paris, where outdoor climate control units are rare on old buildings, with the reality that many Parisian apartments overheat significantly in summer due to a lack of air conditioning or shutters. Data shows that only a small percentage of homes and apartments in France have air conditioning, with more common in the south. However, Paris benefits from the country’s largest district cooling network, which cools 800 buildings, including the Louvre and the National Assembly.
