legraLeGraIts not often mentioned or graphically illustrated in picture like this, but two urban HOT surfaces are
1) recycled rubber type surface (e.g., running tracks sometimes playground surfaces)
2) Bare soil (e.g., gardens that have nice wide bare soil tracks separating raised beds or unplanted areas where the vegetation is kept out)
