Author

  • Givoni, B.

Abstract

The paper discusses the design objectives and the urban design elements which affect and can modify the urban micro-climate in hot humid regions. The design elements discussed are: Location of towns in a region; Density of the built-up area; Orientation and width of streets; Building design details affecting the comfort of people outdoors, and the Design details of public and private “green” areas. Urban design details are suggested for hot humid and for hot dry regions. The paper is based on a recent book of the author (Givoni 1994).
