Urban microclimate in the desert: planning for outdoor comfort under arid conditions

Abstract

The attractiveness of a city is a matter of human perceptions, and the desert city has historically faced an image problem. The very word desert conjures up images of an inhospitable wilderness — hot, dry and dusty. By extension, the physical barrenness of the desert is often applied to urban culture, as a scarcity of life is translated to mean a scarcity of everything from grassy parks to good jobs
