Unlocking Wind Energy Potential: How Urban Design Can Power Green Cities
Wind energy in cities can help make them greener. A study in Beijing looked at different city shapes to see which ones are best for wind energy. They found that city shapes with taller buildings and certain angles can generate more wind energy. Buildings with round corners are also good for catching wind. The direction of the wind and the shape of the buildings affect how much wind energy can be produced. Overall, the shape of a city can impact how much wind energy it can generate.
