However, in the interests of polarisation for entertainment's sake, let it be known that all the writers below utterly detest the one they didn't pick, whatever they say with their words. Of course, preferring one doesn't consign the other to the dumpster and the dizzying number of hours we've cumulatively pumped into both of these brilliant games is proof of just how much we adore the pair of them.

Finally, a combination of the daytime physiological equivalent temperature (PET) and nighttime air temperature (AT) was proposed to choose the optimum layouts: the trees concentrated in the center and the pavement with more roads. Based on ENVI-met simulation, the ratio of the tree and the grass, the layout of the tree and the grass, and the layout of the paving were analyzed at different proportions of greening and paving of the park. Furthermore, the road and greening within the block demonstrate significant influence on the cooling diffusion by regression analysis. By field measurement, the cooling effect could be extended 100 m from the park boundary, connecting two parks. To quantify the relationship between pocket parks and the thermal environment in western China, two parks in the built-up block of Xi'an were selected. Pocket parks, the green infrastructures with small sizes and flexible layouts, are suitable for thermal environment improvement in the urban built-up block with limited green space.
