High population density, dense high-rise buildings, and impervious pavements increase the
vulnerability of cities, which aggravate the urban climate environment characterized by the …

The goal of this study is to explain the relation among atmospheric stability/turbulence
(considering wind speed), air pollution and the spread of COVID-19 to provide insights into …

Urban areas often face environmental challenges of heat islands and poor air quality.
Enhancing urban ventilation performance is a practical solution, where urban ventilation …

There is a growing recognition of the importance of proper urban design in the improvement
of air flow and pollution dispersion and in reducing human exposure to air pollution …

Based on the meteorological data (2009–2018) acquired by high-density automatic
meteorological stations (AMSs) in Bei**g, the influences of urbanization on urban heat …

Air pollution remains a major environmental and health concern in urban environments,
especially in street canyons that show increased pollution levels due to a lack of natural …

Ventilation corridors in cities can decrease air pollution and alleviate heat island problems
but there remains a need to fully assess their effectiveness. Few urban managers have been …

Block typology is a central component for urban planning and a key element to represent the
urban form, which affects the airflow. Therefore, the aim of this work consists of investigating …

Urban morphology affects airflow, causing pollutant accumulation within the urban canopy.
Urban planning can regulate urban form by applying such strategies as defining urban block …

In order to explore the actual impact of urban spatial morphology on real near-surface wind
speed on the urban scale, taking Bei**g, China as an example, this study adopted an urban …
