Urban Microclimate
It provides architects and urban design professionals with an understanding of how the structure of the built environment at all scales affects microclimatic conditions in the space between buildings , and analyzes the interaction between microclimate and each of the elements of the urban landscape.

The quality of life of millions of people living in cities can be improved if the factors that affect the urban microclimate are understood and the form of the city responds to them in a manner that is appropriate to its location. Underlying this approach is the idea that climatically responsive urban design is vital to any notion of sustainability: it enables individual buildings to make ...

Devising the appropriate design means taking into consideration ...
Urban climatology is one feature of the design of these spaces between buildings : we need to understand their microclimate so that we may manipulate the spaces to create better environments for humans.
