“…In these regards, compact urban forms may recover definite micro-climate conditions [86][87][88]. A detailed analysis of the urban climate would help an organization of different kinds of settlement along the urban-rural gradient [33,34], e.g., a standard classification based on Local Climatic Zones [61]. Urban climatic regimes have features that explain a spatially-explicit approach for enduring monitoring and adaptation strategies.…”

“…Considering urbanization as a powerful factor of landscape transformations in Mediterranean Europe, a comparison of changes over time in local-scale climate regimes (e.g., between urban and peri-urban areas) is particularly stimulating in the light of global vs local climate change, drought and land degradation [32]. While climate change is a recognized phenomenon worldwide, an additional factor related to local changes in climate regimes is urban expansion, which generate a well-known effect known as the Urban Heat Island, hereafter UHI [33]. The UHI usually leads to local climate change, with rising temperatures and extreme rainfall events [33][34][35][36].…”

“…One of the most obvious urban climate features is the urban heat island effect [3]. is effect can directly and indirectly affect regional climate [4], energy use [5], air quality [6], urban hydrology [7], soil physicochemical properties [8], creature distribution and activities [9], and human health, comfort, and quality of life [10]. e approaches used for studying urban heat island (UHI) include weather station observations [11], fixed-point field measurements [12], mobile belt transect surveys [13], numerical modelling [14], and remote sensing monitoring, which have been widely accepted and adopted [15,16].…”

“…Office buildings (including 23% of nonresidential buildings) are responsible for more than 48% of the annual energy demand (heating and cooling) in urban areas [5,6]. It is commonly accepted that urban 2 of 19 microclimate conditions have a significant impact on urban climates [7,8], urban comfort [9,10], and the energy performance of buildings [11,12]. At the urban microscale level, the average wind speed is lower, with more complex flow patterns as compared to rural areas [13].…”
