The study looked at how urban development in Xi’an, China affects the city's climate. By analyzing different types of residential areas, researchers found that high-density buildings can change the city's microclimate. They used a simulation system to show how building density, styles, and vegetation design impact urban climate change. The study suggests that urban planning should consider factors like sky view factor to improve outdoor comfort and reduce energy use for heating and cooling. This research can help guide future urban development in China's big cities.
