Abstract

In urban space, a same control index often has a variety of space forms, the different layout and composition of building groups and the different orientations, forms and masses of the buildings have different degrees of influence on the wind environment at pedestrian height. Even if the blocks have same control indexes, the wind speed level at pedestrian height and the distribution of wind field may also be very different. Therefore, this chapter further analyzes the coupling of the wind environment and the space form units, and discusses the characteristics and causes of the wind environment of the different types of space form units based on the Xinjiekou central area of Nanjing.
