Read the following passage carefully:
'Urban green spaces such as public parks and tree-lined avenues contribute significantly to mitigating the urban heat island effect by providing shade and evapotranspiration. Cities that expanded their green canopy over the last decade reported a measurable drop in average summer surface temperatures compared to heavily paved districts. Additionally, urban greening projects have been associated with improved air quality, as trees filter airborne particulate matter. However, municipal authorities often face budget constraints that prioritize immediate civil infrastructure repairs over long-term green space expansion.'
