Urban Climates is the first full synthesis of modern scientific and
applied research on urban climates. The book begins with an outline
of what constitutes an urban ecosystem. It develops a comprehensive
terminology for the subject using scale and surface classification
as key constructs. It explains the physical principles governing
the creation of distinct urban climates, such as airflow around
buildings, the heat island, precipitation modification and air
pollution, and it then illustrates how this knowledge can be
applied to moderate the undesirable consequences of urban
development and help create more sustainable and resilient cities.
With urban climate science now a fully-fledged field, this timely
book fulfills the need to bring together the disparate parts of
climate research on cities into a coherent framework. It is an
ideal resource for students and researchers in fields such as
climatology, urban hydrology, air quality, environmental
engineering and urban design.
