| Abstract | Creating an ‘ecological city’ means that we have to search for strategies in order to develop urban structures. One important aspect in planning urban areas is the consideration of human-biometeorological issues. Investigations of urban climate show that the urban space consists of a variety of microclimates which are characterised by the individual structure of buildings and the arrangement of urban open areas. A high degree of sealing, the inauspicious arrangement of buildings and a lack of vegetation can further intensify thermophysiologically unfavourable meteorological conditions. Every urban structure has climatic potentials which can be developed through taking measures to improve microclimatic conditions. Ecological urban planning thus requires detailed information about microclimatic differences and their human-biometeorological impacts. |
