Book Description
The nineteen contributors to this volume include some of the world's leading urbanists and planners. They agree that urban planners now, more than ever before, are able to manipulate the environment and develop well-designed cities and rural areas. 'A book which raises so many questions in the reader's mind is certainly a good contribution toward a greater understanding of the urbanization process and, hopefully, toward the formulation of an urban theory. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in the current trends or the future of urban development.' -- Journal of the American Institute of Planners, January 1978

Category : Science
ISBN : 1108179363
Book Description
Urban Climates is the first full synthesis of modern scientific and applied research on urban climates. The book begins with an outline of what constitutes an urban ecosystem. It develops a comprehensive terminology for the subject using scale and surface classification as key constructs. It explains the physical principles governing the creation of distinct urban climates, such as airflow around buildings, the heat island, precipitation modification and air pollution, and it then illustrates how this knowledge can be applied to moderate the undesirable consequences of urban development and help create more sustainable and resilient cities. With urban climate science now a fully-fledged field, this timely book fulfills the need to bring together the disparate parts of climate research on cities into a coherent framework. It is an ideal resource for students and researchers in fields such as climatology, urban hydrology, air quality, environmental engineering and urban design.
