The majority of the world's population live in environments with
artificially weakened wind as buildings in urban areas form
wind-breaks and reduce wind speeds. Anthropogenic heat is also
generated and during the summer dense urban areas suffer from the
urban heat island effect, a known urban climate problem. This book
discusses how to evaluate the urban wind environment, including
ventilation performance and thermal comfort. This book is organized
in two parts; Wind Environment and the Urban Environment and
Criteria for Assessing Breeze Environments. It includes chapters on
sea breeze in urban areas; thermal adaptation and the effect of
wind on thermal comfort; health risk of exposures; pollutant
transport in dense urban areas; legal regulations for urban
ventilation and new criteria for assessing the local wind
environment. Keywords: urban wind environments, urban heat island,
urban climate, land use change, thermal comfort, risk assessment,
urban air pollution, urban ventilation
