One of the oldest tricks in the book, acclimation. Running your A/C to 78°F during the day rather than 68 will do wonders for your acclimation of the 110°F+ ambient temps, but few things can help with the reflective 150°F+ from asphalt and the like.
And yeah, a lot of A/C, misters, big outdoor fans, and the biggest of all, shade. Which, interestingly, is not highlighted in some of these sketches/mockups.
As a third-generation Tucsonan (one of the oldest continually inhabited places in North America), the heat is both something to be mindful of as it is something that you simply get used to.
The most glorious Monsoons are both a blessing and a curse. One of the wettest in my recent memory, but the humidity is as bad as my time in the summer at Ft. Gordon, GA; really did feel like your skin was melting off your bones...
