Why is it important to analyse pedestrian comfort?
Understanding wind patterns is essential to designing cities that are not only practical but also pedestrian-friendly. This approach aligns with sustainability goals by strengthening urban resilience to climate change and promoting environmentally friendly modes of transport such as walking and cycling. In addition, many countries and cities have adopted wind comfort codes or guidelines for public spaces.
Integrating pedestrian wind comfort considerations into urban design efforts enables planners and architects to improve street configurations, building siting, and landscaping to create environments that are more sustainable, resilient, and enjoyable for residents and visitors. Such initiatives ultimately enhance the livability of cities, fostering social interaction and community well-being.
