Modern technology makes it possible to build cities in arid environments, but it doesn't make it wise.

Modern tech also makes it possible to turn arid environments into forests. I would start there. When you do that water starts to collect/accumulate and the area gets cooler.

On 99° days of unbearable heat and sun I can stroll under trees and be nice and cool in the 70°s. I do it all the time.

Do you have an example of this being done on a large scale? Sincere question. I've just never heard of it being done.
