As /u/hank hints. it' might be possible if you build the buildings under some mass, like in Arakkis or Pompeii or North Africa - Your stone house has a central courtyard. Your street is in the shade between houses. Any public building rising above the rooflines has a wind-catcher. Really big public spaces are catching winds.

Literally anything better than an above-ground structure (skyscraper) with exterior glass (greenhouse) walls!
