My front yard is all sun.

My backyard is a a shaded oasis. I have a few trees, lots of vining plants, and tall shrubs and other native species.

The differrnce between the two on a hot day can be 30°F

And the humidity level drops....precipitously.

I kind of doubt that yards and gardens are common among the average residences of theses cities. I don't think they're willing and/or able to implement solutions similar to how I imagine your situation. It sounds very nice, though, and I hope I'm wrong.
