A short review on pedestrian wind assessment techniques in urban area

High-rise buildings in urban areas increase wind speeds, causing discomfort to the community and infrastructural damages at the pedestrian level. Wind components, turbulence intensity, and magnitude are studied when evaluating these issues. Pedestrian wind assessments can be conducted through wind t...
