Wind Flow in an Urban Environment
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1991The wind environment at ground leven in built-up areas is influenced by the extremely complex interaction amongst incident wind, mean vertical velocity gradient, turbulence and the shapes, sizes and layouts of building. Random layout of buildings could generate zones of overspeed and vortices in the connecting passage way between buildings, terraces ...

The environment-behavior literature related to the urban environment is in many ways as complex and diverse as the city itself. While traditionally the province of urban sociology, the urban crises of the past two decades have prompted considerable research into the nature and consequences of city life from a social psychological perspective as well ...

Rapid Urbanization and the Urban Environment
1999Abstract This chapter reviews the range of environmental hazards present in urban areas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and their impact on human health. It discusses the groups that are most vulnerable to environmental hazards and suggests that low income groups (and, within such groups, women and children) bear most of the health

The main effects of climate change in urban environments are heat-stress and flooding. In order to mitigate these effects the city needs to adapt and anticipate. The most fundamental solution would be to relocate urban areas towards places that are less likely to suffer from heat or rainwater. However, although this rigorous solution might be effective

The environmental issue had a global impact, long before the current globalization was discussed. And yet, between what has been enshrined in "ecological criticism" and the current "critical environment," there is a story that must be pointed out. On the other hand, the notion of the urban environment, which is contemporaneous with that context of ...
