The urban thermal and wind environment (UTWE) has become a major concern in urban
planning design. Consideration of the UTWE involves steps of modelling, assessment, and …

Despite the remarkable contribution of urbanisation to socio-economic development, it has
complicated negative impacts on the environment. The growth of urbanisation has …

Abstract The concept of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) are effective tools to quantify the urban
heat island effect. However, the study of LCZs mainly focuses on the meso-micro scale, and …

Urban geometry and buildings' morphology affect the thermal behaviour of the spatial
environment. Urban compactness is a key variable that affects thermal performance in hot …

This paper investigates the interactions between urban morphology indicators and extreme
weather variables. In this regard, variations of wind speed and air temperature at the urban …

The impact of climate change in recent years on public health risks continues to intensify,
and rational arrangement of trees can effectively reduce urban heat islands. As a gathering …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a climatic phenomenon linked to urbanization. In the
context of climate change, municipalities have to adapt the city to increase in heat waves by …

Ventilation corridors in cities can decrease air pollution and alleviate heat island problems
but there remains a need to fully assess their effectiveness. Few urban managers have been …

Urban climate features, such as the urban heat island (UHI), are determined by various
factors characterizing the modifications of the surface by the built environment and human …

The urban microclimate is not only predominated by synoptic weather features but also
closely related to heterogeneous characteristics of urban morphology. This study conducted …
