...would it also make sense for hotter communities to have "cooling plants"? Idk how that would work but it was just a weird thought I had.

yes, but the cooling plant we're talking about is a tree. the community should centrally decide to plant trees everywhere until you cannot see the sky in summer.
that'd cool shit down. centrally.
I can say that trees work very very well for this. My uni is PACKED full of trees. Once you get in the campus it's such a difference from the street. Not getting direct sunlight helps a lot and good air circulation too, so even though it was hot, it was never unbearable.
all streets in all settlements should look like this: https://gardonykultura.hu/ertektar/a-vedett-fasorok/
we should've been doing this all along because it's awesome, but now with catastrophic levels of climate change, we really should put the turbo on it. but we wont. heaven forbid we have to eminent domain strips of land from people to have this kind of tree coverage and make our settlements livable again.
Only possible problem is power lines, but they can go underground and be much safer for everyone, it's just going to need some more money put into it, if they aren't ready
