> This article suggests Is more like a proven fact. Temperatures measured on hard landscape of modern parks based on stone is consistently higher than on old fashioned parks with big trees and fallen leaves.

A branch can kill a person and politicians hate this possibility 2) they are much easier to tidy up and much cheaper to maintain. Cheaper in the sense of "people will pay for their air conditioner, not us". 3) Vehicles can pass easily over stone surfaces (Also cleaning vehicles). Is not so easy to clean and drive over gravel
