“…The great majority of the articles (26 out of 32) focus on modelling the effects of urbanization on the "Urban Climate" [15,19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][42][43][44]46,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], with a greater focus on temperature, especially the urban heat island effect [33,36,42,51,54,55]. Most of these studies have China as a case study [31][32][33][34][35]40,43,44,50,51,56,58].…”

The expected increase in urbanization changes the morphology of urban areas. These changes affect the urban environment and impact several aspects, such as climate, energy, air quality, and socioeconomic factors, among others. Therefore, it is important to lead cities towards sustainable development. The goal of this paper is to understand which domains should be considered to assess the sustainability of cities, at an environmental level and with a focus on air quality, and how those domains are connected, based on a comprehensive literature review, which resulted in 1479 articles. The results show that “Urban Climate”, “Air Quality”, “Urban Morphology”, “Health”, “Energy” and “Mobility” are the most common domains in research, and that 39% of articles only assess one domain. It is possible to understand that though 96% of articles contain up to three domains, the great majority do not assess those domains in an integrated way. There are many studies that evaluate important domains of urban areas; however, they mostly evaluate these effects in isolation, and rarely in tandem. Moving forward, it is important to understand how to best connect the most relevant domains, under an integrated multicriteria approach, thus allowing a more complete assessment of the sustainability of urban areas.

“…Therefore, the study is based on EPW files for representing the Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) [53], and three IPCC emission scenarios, which are A1B, A2, and B1, reveal the three projection's weather files available on Meteonorm 7.2 and used in the current study. Among several climate change studies, Calvin Cheung and Hart, 2014 [42]; Richter, 2016 [54]; Carter, 2018 [55]; Moazami et al, 2019 [8]; Nematchoua et al, 2019 [15]; and other researchers used in their work the emission scenarios for the climate-change adaptation models.…”

Prediction of Climate Change Effect on Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Arid Region

et al. 2021

Climate change and expected weather patterns in the long-term threaten the livelihood inside oases settlements in arid lands, particularly under the recurring heat waves during the harsh months. This paper investigates the impact of climate change on the outdoor thermal comfort within a multifamily housing neighborhood that is considered the most common residential archetype in Algerian Sahara, under extreme weather conditions in the summer season, in the long-term. It focuses on assessing the outdoor thermal comfort in the long-term, based on the Perceived Temperature index (PT), using simulation software ENVI-met and calculation model RayMan. Three different stations in situ were conducted and combined with TMY weather datasets for 2020 and the IPCC future projections: A1B, A2, B1 for 2050, and 2080. The results are performed from two different perspectives: to investigate how heat stress evolution undergoes climate change from 2020 till 2080; and for the development of a mathematical algorithm to predict the outdoor thermal comfort values in short-term, medium-term and long-term durations. The results indicate a gradual increase in PT index values, starting from 2020 and progressively elevated to 2080 during the summer season, which refers to an extreme thermal heat-stress level with differences in PT index averages between 2020 and 2050 (+5.9 °C), and 2080 (+7.7 °C), meaning no comfortable thermal stress zone expected during 2080. This study gives urban climate researchers, architects, designers and urban planners several insights into predicted climate circumstances and their impacts on outdoor thermal comfort for the long-term under extreme weather conditions, in order to take preventive measures for the cities’ planning in the arid regions.

“…Trabalhos recentes enfatizam a constante preocupação dos autores com o aquecimento e desconforto causado pelo aumento da temperatura nas áreas urbanas, principalmente no período noturno. Chapman et al (2017), Hu et al (2017), Koomen et al (2017), Richter (2016), Du et al (2016) e Hua et al (2016) ressaltam que o efeito negativo da ilha de calor em áreas urbanas é uma das questões ambientais mais críticas para as cidades contemporâneas de maior porte e que estudos anteriores mostram que existe uma forte correlação entre a ilha de calor e o fator de visão do céu, que demonstra uma ligação potencial entre a morfologia urbana e as ilhas de calor.…”

As atividades antrópicas associadas ao processo de urbanização das cidades brasileiras refletem diretamente na qualidade de vida da população. A remoção da cobertura natural e a impermeabilização do solo modificam os elementos climáticos que compõem a atmosfera local, favorecendo a formação de anomalias termo-higrométricas na área urbana. O objetivo do artigo é analisar a variação termo-higrométrica no período quente-seco da região metropolitana de Cuiabá/MT. Foram utilizados dados relativos à temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, de duas estações micrometeorológicas fixas, localizadas nos municípios de Santo Antônio do Leverger (rural) e Cuiabá (urbana). Os resultados apontam diferenças entre médias horárias de temperatura mais significativas no período noturno, chegando a 3,42 °C e umidade em 16,19%. Apesar de receberem a mesma insolação, a área rural arrefece rapidamente durante a noite devido à baixa capacidade de armazenamento térmico da vegetação, ocasionando as maiores diferenças de temperatura entre ambientes urbanos e rurais.
