Abstract

People’s comfort depends also on the wind condition, which is strongly guided by urban spatial design. This paper focuses on climatic conditions and pedestrian behavior in an urban area. These studies emphasize the connection of people’s attitudes with physical and climatic ambiance. The challenge of urban designers is to consider the surrounding structures and the topography to design a comfortable outdoor public space. Two criteria are used to assess the wind in a public space domain. The CFD was used as an instrument to analyze pedestrian wind comfort in the outlined environment. This study has come to important findings related to the air movement in and around the studied domain: High-velocity wind can be a nuisance for most creative activities in the outdoor public space. This paper provided a velocity map for future recreational activities inside the current building pattern. The effects of these architectural patterns were discussed.
