Michael Hebbert (SED), Vladimir Jankovic (CHSTM)
Fionn MacKillop (SED)
Introductory
city planning and climate adaptation
a new agenda
with long historical precedents
Introductory
Feng Shue site selection in classical China
emergence of urban climatology
Luke Howard (1812)
Albert Kratzer (1937)
Tim Oke (1976)
Introductory
layers of the urban climate
urban heat island
urban boundary layer
urban canopy layer
Introductory
layers of urban design
spatial strategy
green infrastructure
neighborhood design
built/unbuilt pattern + density
street & public realm design
zoning & building codes
Introductory
urban design shapes climate !
Q1: are designers aware ?
Q2: do they act on it ?
Introductory
Twenty month project in three parts
1 historical
2 comparative
3 applied
Introductory
Longitudinal studies of knowledge transfer from climatology to policy
Three global networks:
IFHP
WMO
ISB
Historical
International Federation of Housing and Planning (IFHP)
founded 1913
based in The Hague
Historical
October 1959 IFHP + CIB + ISB launch International Study Group for Urban and Building Climatology
international symposia: V
ienna (1965 and 1970),
Stockholm (1972),
Zurich (1974),
Vienna (1976) etc etc
. . . Yokohama (2009)
Dublin (2012)
Historical
1978: IFHP questionnaire sent to European HE institutions; 36% response rate – 90% negative
1980: IFHP booklet, Fundamental knowledge in urban and building climatology - unsolicited mail-out to 1,500 recipients
detail: 40 entries on topic of rain, 70 on topic of wind etc.
Historical
Historical
IFHP (1980)
World Meteorological Organisation
founded 1950
based in Geneva
Historical
1951: creation of Commission for Climatology (CCl)
1971: CCl becomes Committee for Special Applications of Meteorology and Climatology (CoSAMC) - chair Helmut Landsberg

Historical
Chandler (1976)

Founded Paris, 1956, by Solco S. Tromp (NL) and Frederick Sargent II (US)
interdisciplinary learned society, wide range - vetinerary, medical, botanical, zoological, architectural, engineering etc

Tim Oke (UBC) chair
Sue Grimmond (Indiana) secretary
2000 breakaway group:
International Association for Urban Climate
- a virtual global network

Stuttgart
New York
Tokyo
