Abstract

With the normalization of the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, there is an urgent need to develop a healthy urban public space. However, because of the fast urbanization process with a series of problems, such as PM2.5 air pollution, the Urban Heat Island, and the relatively high frequency of static winds under the influence of its topography, the ventilation problem in the public spaces of Chengdu is of great importance. Along these lines, in this work, the history of theoretical research on urban ventilation is summarized and reviewed first to evaluate the urban wind environment. Second, so far, qualitative methods are mainly adopted for the evaluation methods of microclimate adaptation. However, the practical application has achieved few results. Meanwhile, there is still a lack of comprehensive and unified research on the multi-element of human microclimate comfort in public space. For this reason, the urban ventilation assessment system was established in this work according to the physical, physiological, and psychological aspects, with 9 indices selected and ranked. Then, an optimization strategy for rebuilding the urban public space was proposed for improving the wind environment microclimate adaption on three levels: macro city-regional level, meso block linear space, and micro space node. By taking Eastern Banlieue Memory Industrial Park as an example, the statistical data were systematically investigated on the spot from the results of 249 wind environment questionnaires, and 30 Delphi expert consultation questionnaires.
