I think even without the heat, just seeing greenery is supposed to be calming and good for your mental health.

Cities that don't prioritize this look so bleak and depressing to me. The same goes for a lot of newly built cookie-cutter suburbs where they place the houses so close together than there's not enough room for any nature.

Appearances do matter, yeah. Actually, there is a study out there that showed a reduction in subway crime when graffiti is cleaned up vs when it's left on the trains. Unfortunately it's been like 15 years so I forget the source, though. I imagine there's been follow ups too, if any lemmings want a random homework assignment lol
