“…In certain climates, emphasis has been placed on protecting homes in rural areas from wind action using forests, low forests or wind-breaking hedges (or a combination of these strategies) [155]. In addition to mitigating the effects of wind action, the vegetative masses interact with the climates nearest the buildings to modify the temperature and humidity conditions.…”

“…Climatic conditions that are unsuitable for humans affect the social and economic aspects of urban areas. Given that the heat island effect, which increases ambient air temperature (T air ), influences human thermal comfort and health conditions [9,10], it must be reduced through the appropriate use of urban spaces and materials [11]. Many mitigation strategies can be usedto solve the heat island effect.…”

Tropical cities currently face issues of climate change resulting from rapid urbanization and the impact of urban morphological transformations on the microclimate. The analysis of urban physical forms and patterns is a realisticmethodfor quantifying these impacts. This work examined the impact of morphological transformations of an urban site in Wuhan, China, on the microthermal environment at different time periods. We also quantified and compared the impact of four urban site morphologies on ambient air temperature. The morphological changes of the study site were inferred from Google Earth images acquired at different time points in 2006 and 2013. ENVI-met simulation software was used to compare the changes in temperature at the selected site by specific date. The year- and time-based analysis of existing urban morphologies and their impact on the microurban thermal environment shows that the overall minimum and maximum values of morning and afternoon ambient air temperature are nearly the same for the 2013 and 2006 morphologies. The maximum temperature difference was observed in the afternoon (14:00), with an average difference of approximately 2 °C in the east. The findings of this research could provide a useful guide for optimizing the transformation of urban site planning and design and a suitable method for assessing the impact of built-up areas on the environment.
