TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a comprehensive review of planning with urban greening and described parametric studies that have been conducted to investigate the preferred location, amount, and types of vegetation for urban planning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of research over the past decade on the behavioral aspects of outdoor thermal comfort and the use of outdoor space in the context of urban planning, and further discuss a general framework for assessing indoor thermal comfort based on behavioral aspects and the need for predicting tools in the design and planning of outdoors thermal comfort.

TL;DR: The scientific and implementation processes leading to the AVA system are reported in this paper and basically establishes a method for project developers to objectively assess their designs.

TL;DR: The study establishes that the simpler two-dimensional ground coverage ratio (GCR), which is readily available in the planning circle, can be used to predict the area's average pedestrian level urban ventilation performance of the city.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the role of sky view factor (SVF) in determining summer daytime intra-urban air temperature differences in urban Hong Kong and showed that SVF is a significant factor for understanding the microthermal climate in Hong Kong's street canyons.
