50万美元州拨款种下250棵树：韩国城与中城添荫凉
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市11月3日介绍，一项绿化工程正在韩国城扎根：由州众议员 Mark González 带来的50万美元州拨款支持，施工队正在韩国城与中城（Mid City）一带种植250棵树，为社区遮阴降温。
市府表示，茂密的树冠可以把地面温度降低多达30华氏度，这种降温效应能保护居民免受危险热浪影响，也让社区街道更安全、更适合步行。韩国城建筑密度高、树荫长期不足，是洛杉矶市内热岛效应较明显的社区之一。
市府称，这次种植只是更大目标的开端：组织者计划在这一带种下超过1,000棵树，形成凉爽、有树荫的人行道，让居民可以安心散步，并为自己的社区感到自豪。

A $500,000 State Grant Brings 250 New Trees to Cool Koreatown and Mid City
The City of Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, California, reported on November 3 that a new green project is taking root in Koreatown: backed by a $500,000 state grant from Assemblymember Mark González, crews are planting 250 trees across Koreatown and Mid City to beat the heat.
The city said a thick tree canopy can drop ground temperatures by up to 30 degrees. This cooling effect protects residents from dangerous heat waves and makes neighborhood streets safer and more walkable. Koreatown's dense built environment and long-standing shortage of shade have made it one of the city's most heat-exposed neighborhoods.
According to the city, this launch is only the start of a much bigger goal: organizers plan to plant over 1,000 trees, creating cool, shaded sidewalks where neighbors can stroll safely and take pride in their community.
