Ten years after its well-received publication, Weather in the City, How Design Shapes the Urban Climate is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many heat stress related problems, especially in our cities. At the same time, there is a growing awareness on the part of city dwellers and local councils of the problems caused by wind phenomena in the city. This revised edition draws on current examples in demonstrating how the comfort of the urban environment can be enhanced using modern techniques and new methods. How we experience the urban climate depends on various physical and psychological factors. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban environment, and how they can be influenced by spatial planning and urban design. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, illustrations and practice-based examples. Weather in the City is a reference book as well as an inspiration book for everyone working on a liveable city; commissioners, policymakers, professionals and students in urban design, landscape architecture and planning.
