Learning From Failure

Some failures were that:

• Temperature datasets sometimes did not match canopy data.
  
  

• Satellite imagery occasionally overestimated shade at street level.
  
  

• Some early tree planting recommendations included species unsuitable for Las Vegas’s arid conditions, such as high-water-demand trees.

These challenges reinforced the importance and reality of adaptability, critical thinking, and the iterative nature of real-world problem-solving.
