## AI overview

Google Research is expanding its building-level rooftop reflectivity dataset to cover more than 50 global cities. The data is available through a high-resolution Heat Resilience Earth Engine App and is intended to help urban planners prioritize cool-roof interventions that reduce heat exposure and protect vulnerable communities.
