This is a thing, but only in the places where the air doesn't cool down too much such as in a desert.
It won't change the climate, but ice (also in mountain ranges) and clouds reflect light and heat. The more ice is lost because of heating, the less heat is reflecting, so earth heats more. This is one of the tipping points that matters in climate change. If there are enough white surfaces, we could push that point of no return a bit. It might not only make sense locally. But i guess putting effort in biological solutions is indeed a much better way to go.
Well, I had my (flat) roof insulated this year and the outer surface is grayish white, so I'm doing my part!
Yea, I also thought about tipping points. But I think that the white buildings/streets or even painted surface could never make up for the lost (white) ice surface
