Wind Environment Optimization for Sustainable Development: The China Experience in Urban Air Path Planning

Abstract

Urban air path planning is an exploration of urban sustainable development by urban planners. With the continuous increase of urban scale and urban construction density, cities in China begin to face the ventilation problem faced by developed countries. The article reviews the process of urban air path research in China and summarizes the current situation of urban air path planning practice in China, in order to provide a reference for other developing countries. Based on the reflection on the development of urban air path, this paper puts forward four suggestions for urban air path construction in developing countries, including formulating formal technical guidelines, integrating with national urban planning system, strengthening the support of wind environment research, and constructing evaluation and feedback mechanism.
