Abstract

[Urban climate is characterized by a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring at different scales. From the perspective of urban living and urban design, the most relevant characteristics of urban climate include concepts such as urban heat island, urban wind, energy consumption, thermal comfort, and so on. In this chapter, the first part lays out the fundamental landscape for the conceptualization of urban climate as how to understand the climatic phenomena, characterize the physical processes, and evaluate the impact imposed by design practice. The second part focuses on a subset of urban climatology, the human biometeorology, which is most related to design practice and its implications on climate-sensitive and bioclimatic design.]
