In the same way it's more efficient for certain far north communities to have a centralized "heating plant" rather than heat building individually... (hexbear.net)

...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.

It would make more sense for the community to huddle in the same building to preserve the cool air and at that point it's an arcology.

Which we should be building anyway because they minimize land use and the material/energy costs of housing per capita.
