Abstract

Economic and social development and the progress of urbanization have not only brought material wealth to mankind, but have also worsened the urban living environment to a certain extent and led to the increasingly serious urban environmental problems. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of living standards, people’s demands for quality of life have also been correspondingly raised. Urban space environment has the closest relationship with people and its comfort is directly related to people’s quality of life. Creating a livable urban space environment has gradually become the theme of today’s architecture and urban planning disciplines. The study of microclimate such as the urban wind environment has also gradually become a hot topic of academic concern. As an important element of urban microclimate, urban wind environment plays an important role in the diffusion of air pollutants, the elimination of heat island effect, the perception of thermal/wind comfort in open space, and the wind safety of tall buildings. Good urban wind environment, especially the wind environment at pedestrian height, provides urban residents with a more healthy and comfortable outdoor activities platform. Therefore, the response to climate change in urban planning is particularly urgent at present. However, there are no relevant laws and regulations in China to supervise the advantages and disadvantages of urban wind environment, and the research on urban wind environment is far less than the speed of urban planning and construction. The study of urban wind environment is of great significance to urban development and urban planning.
