Air pollution is a global problem, which needs to be understood and controlled to ensure a
healthy environment and inform sustainable development. Urban areas have been …

Outdoor ventilation is very important for a healthy and livable urban environment. It is
strongly influenced by wind speed and direction, which in turn are affected by urban …

This paper discusses the combined influence of building morphology and trees on air
pollutant concentrations in the Marylebone neighbourhood (central London). Computational …

Considering climate change and the rapid trend towards urbanization, the analysis of urban
microclimate is gaining importance. The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and summer-time …

Green infrastructure can reduce PM 2.5 traffic emissions on a city scale, by a combination of
dispersion by trees and deposition on buildings, trees and grass. Simulations of PM 2.5 …

This article deals with the state-of-the-art of experimental and numerical studies carried out
regarding air pollutant dispersion in urban environments. Since the simulation of the …
