Street canyons are generally highly polluted urban environments due to high traffic
emissions and impeded dispersion. Green infrastructure (GI) is one potential passive control …

Intensifying the proportion of urban green infrastructure has been considered as one of the
remedies for air pollution levels in cities, yet the impact of numerous vegetation types …

This chapter is aimed at analyzing a review of the empirical literature on some important
features of urban green spaces such as the components, functions, services, community …

Urban vegetation affects air quality through influencing pollutant deposition and dispersion.
Both processes are described by many existing models and experiments, on-site and in …

Urban tree planting initiatives are being actively promoted as a planning tool to enable
urban areas to adapt to and mitigate against climate change, enhance urban sustainability …

Urban air quality has been a long-standing problem in most cities worldwide. Many
strategies have been proposed to solve it, including green infrastructures such as green …

In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

Street-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) exceed
public health standards in many cities, causing increased mortality and morbidity …

Vegetation is often quoted as an effective measure to mitigate urban air quality problems. In
this work we demonstrate by the use of computer models that the air quality effect of urban …

Near-field pollutant dispersion in the urban environment involves the interaction of a plume
and the flow field perturbed by building obstacles. In the past two decades, micro-scale …
