Abstract
a Department of Geography, Faculty of Science, Palacký University in Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic (*corresponding author: M. Vysoudil, e-mail: miroslav.vysoudil@upol.cz) An urban climate refers to the fact that atmospheric conditions tend to be different in a city compared to the surrounding rural environment. In addition, urban areas constitute those locations most at risk among those affected by potential global climate changes. Studies concerning the impact of global changes on the local climates of cities are of great significance for the health and wellbeing of urban residents. In contrast to the cities of Western Europe, however, urban areas in Central Europe developed in a significantly different way after World War II because of political and economic conditions. Urban structures, then, also tend to be different, and urban climate studies must include those specific features.
