![enter image description here][1] shiraz , once was called shahr-e-baghhay-e-Sabz which means city of gardens, so it has lot of trees in it . sadly huge part of these gardens were destroyed for construction purposes ,which has definitely caused some damages to city's climate. In our old fabric parts of the city we have a lot of old houses that are so called sustainable which have a Howz (pool) and some trees in their yard . evaporation of water and wind flowing through the leaves causes better weather in those houses that like u said ,we as architects forgot to use . hopefully someday we understand that we can take notes from our ancestors and be better architects. ![enter image description here][2] c. habitats like some birds were one of the attractions of maharloo lake in south east of shiraz , which in 10 years got dried and its all because of the illegal shafts that some selfish people dig . ![enter image description here][3] d. tourism is a huge industry . my city gets a lot of tourism despite the lack of advertisement and propagation which is saddening , because it can be a lot lot better than this. ![enter image description here][4] ![enter image description here][5] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14480269489295299.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14480275647273668.jpg [3]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14480279168958599.jpg [4]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14480284132485371.jpg [5]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14480284321229347.jpg
