Alternative scenarios for ecological urbanizations using ENVI-met model
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018 Natural areas are quickly degraded by opening new settlement and industrial areas in order to meet the increasing demand of the growing population. Concreting, modification of land surfaces, complex urban structures, and depressed urban environments contribute to the formation of an Urban Heat Island (UHI).

Analysis of winter thermal comfort conditions: street scenarios using ENVI-met model
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021 Rapid migration to cities and the increasing demand for housing negatively affect living areas. Furthermore, uncontrolled population growth, industrialization, urbanization, narrowing of urban areas, and expansion of cities cause physical boundaries. Urbanization growth and the cold climate restrict pedestrian mobility in the city.
