It helps readers gain a deeper understanding ofclimate-responsive urban design strategies and tactics for effectively mitigating the negative impacts of deteriorating urban thermal environments on pedestrian thermal comfort, outdoor air quality and building energy consumption. It also reviews the latest advances in urban climate research, with a focus on the challenges in terms of outdoor space comfort, health, and livability posed by the high-rise and high-density development in emerging Asian megacities, and proposes an integrated framework in response to the pressing need for microclimate research. It then presents a series of studies on high-rise residential and non-residential urban neighborhoods and districtsbased on instrumented field study, validated numerical simulation, and spatial analysis using a GIS platform. The book includes extensive, valuable experimental data presented in a clear and concise manner. The thermal atlas methodology based on empirical modeling and spatial analysis described is a useful climate-responsive design tool for both urban designer and architects. As such, the book is of particular interest to researchers, professionals, and graduate students in the fields of urban planning and design, building science and urban climatology. 410 0$aThe Urban Book Series,$x2365-757X 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aClimatology 606 $aBuilding construction 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/122000 606 $aClimatology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/311000 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aBuilding construction. 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 14$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aClimatology. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 676 $a307.76 700 $aYang$b Feng$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871967 702 $aChen$b Liang$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366646803321 996 $aHigh-Rise Urban Form and Microclimate$91946849 997 $aUNINA
