Differences in the Influence of Microclimate on Pedestrian Volume According to Land-Use
Land, 2021 Identifying how the urban environment affects pedestrian volume is a traditional urban planning topic. Recently, because of climate change and air pollution, interest in the effects of urban microclimates has been increasing.

The Mitigative Potential of Urban Environments and Their Microclimates [PDF]
Buildings, 2015 Cities play a crucial role in climate change: More than 50% of the growing population lives in cities producing most of the global GDP but also 78% of greenhouse gases (GHG) responsible for climate change. Moreover, due to their highly modified land-use and intensive activities, cities are at the forefront of the most rapid environmental and climatic ...

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.

Decoupling forest characteristics and background conditions to explain urban-rural variations of multiple microclimate regulation from urban trees [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Rapid urbanization in semi-arid regions necessitates greater cooling, humidifying, and shading services from urban trees, but maximizing these services requires an exact understanding of their association with forest characteristics and ...
