The Relation Between Urban Morphology and Local Climate Towards the Urban Form to Reach a Reasonable and Sustainable Urban Design

There is a general consensus among scientists that rapid urbanization has somenegative effects on urban climate and having a serious effect on urban growth form. Moreover, itcould be reasonably argued that a key factor in urban form is the relation between urbanmorphology and local climate, which consequently affect the health of habitants living in thecities. Therefore, in this issue, to reach a reasonable urban sustainable design, it would be betterto concentrate on the relation between these important factors such as urban morphology, urbanform and local climate. However, the link between them and urban planning and designstrategies is still weak. Nevertheless, there is no significant guidelines to mitigate the negativeeffects of urban planning and design. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to determine therelation between urban morphology and local climate towards the urban form to have anappropriate urban design. To support this idea a case study including of three cities is representedand discussed. As a result, this study shows a reliable evidence that provides comfort andconvenience for habitants in residential area, if followed appropriately.
