ENCONTRO NACIONAL DE CONFORTO NO AMBIENTE CONSTRUÍDO, 2023 Cities' morphologies determine the urban microclimate. The thermal conditions may differ according to the distance from the ground. For instance, air velocity and solar incidence tend to be higher as the height increases due to the decrease of obstacles to wind and radiation.
